Midjourney V6 is Here With In-image Text and Completely Overhauled Prompting

Midjourney version 6, the latest and greatest iteration of the popular image generation AI model from the research collective of the same name founded by David Holz, dropped last night as an alpha release. From a report: Among those new features are drastically improved and more realistic, highly detailed images, and the ability to have the model generate legible text within images, something that had eluded Midjourney since its release in 2022 even as other rival AI image generators such as OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and Ideogram had launched this type of feature. “This model can generate much more realistic imagery than anything we’ve released before,” wrote Holz in a message posted in the Midjourney Discord server, which has over 17 million members. Holz said V6 was actually the “third model trained from scratch on our AI superclusters” and took nine months to develop. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
