Midjourney V6 Alpha is now available for testing. How do you find the new alpha version? “I’m not sure,” many fans voted. There are still many rough edges that developers must smooth out to produce more consistent, coherent, and satisfactory results, which is currently not the case. The good news is that the V6 Alpha will get a major update in the first week of January to address many of these issues. /imagine prompt: A photo of a young man named David fishing near the lake with a British Shorthair cat in the winter.

Hello everyone, how are your vacations going?

I was gone for a week, unplugged from work and writing. Simply unwinding. In fact, more of that is required…

Here’s a quick rundown of the most recent Midjourney Weekly Office Hours:

(1) Upcoming releases

• A faster (twice as fast) version of upscaler will be released soon.
• January will be an overwhelming month with updates every week. The emphasis will be on the release of smaller features.
• By the end of January, Midjourney V6 could be the default.
• By February or March, the website could have all its features operational.
• There may be a video feature by February or March, and new users can subscribe to Midjourney through the website.
• Niji V6 will likely be released in January.
• The developers plan to release a new model every 3–4 months.

(2) Midjourney Website

• There will be folder and filter features to help with organization.
• The social feature will be available in early January.

According to David, Midjourney V6 Alpha is better at creating dragons. /imagine prompt: A cinematic photograph of an angry dragon that has landed on a spaceship and is biting off a piece of the spaceship in the sky. Bright afternoon. A strong vibe. — ar 16:9 — v 6.0 — Upscaled (Subtle)

• The next update will likely be next week. The main visible difference will be improved text generation. The hands, prompt accuracy (“prompt following”), and coherence will also be improved.
• The developers noted the idiosyncrasies in the V6 Alpha. Fans of Midjourney should be patient while the update resolves those issues. V6 will remain in the Alpha stage following the update.
• Other issues mentioned include distorted faces…
