In the face of OpenAI’s aggressive DALL・E 3, Midjourney also revealed its next-generation, stronger version, Midjourney V6, which not only benchmarks the performance of DALL・E 3, but also adds social functions.
On September 21st, OpenAI launched DALL・E 3, which not only made a huge leap in drawing ability, but also “understood” human speech. The newly upgraded DALL・E 3 has also become the undisputed leader in the field of AI painting.
Netizens who joined in the fun also posted comparison pictures of the same prompt using DALL・E 3 and Midjourney.
It can be seen that DALL・E 3 does a better job than Midjourney in “understanding the intention”, and the images it generates are more accurate.
This may be because, in this update, OpenAI announced that DALL・E 3 is integrated with ChatGPT.
This will mean that we have to say goodbye to complicated prompt projects. In the future, we only need to describe the images we want to ChatGPT, and we can generate a large wave of beautiful and different styles of images!
As soon as the news of DALL・E 3’s closed beta came out, all kinds of talk about Midjourney being slapped became rampant on the Internet.
Midjourney looked at this wave and came back with a piece of bombshell news:
- Midjourney will launch an even more amazing version 6 within this year, which will not only make a huge leap in the quality of image generation, but also add social features.
In addition, Midjourney will also launch 3D and video generation, although we will not see these features within this year.
After the release of DALL・E 3, Midjourney CEO David Holz was asked what he thought of OpenAI’s DALL・E 3. Holz responded “arrogantly”:
- Midjourney will continue to provide the highest-quality images.
- In this comparison between the DALL・E 3 and Midjourney V5, you can actually see that the DALL・E 3 is not far ahead in terms of image quality, although it does follow prompts and render text better.
Although Midjourney V6 has not been officially launched yet, there are already rumours about various version updates on the Internet!
Let us take a quick look next.
Midjourney V6 updates
- Independent website development
Midjourney will be spinning off from Discord and launching its own independent website. And will integrate user-friendly social mechanisms on its homepage.
- Mobile Application Development
Midjourney expects to expand its reach through mobile apps. iOS users are known to get the app natively, while Android users will download it through other channels.
For users who prefer to browse the web, the Midjourney website will have website pages optimized for use on mobile devices.
- Data center upgrade
Midjourney will update its data center to provide a faster and more efficient user experience. This results in faster image generation, especially beneficial for professional and SVIP users. However, due to limited computing resources, it may not be immediately available to all user levels.
- Add Turbo mode
Midjourney provides a feature called “Turbo Mode” that is currently available to users of all levels. Performance in this mode is four times faster than standard mode. Users can activate Turbo mode by adding the command –turbo or using /turbo.
Netizens predict the updated features of Midjourney V6
- Higher image resolution
Images generated by Midjourney V6 will have a resolution of 2048×2048. This leap in resolution not only enhances the richness of the generated image content, but also enables complex designs and nuances that were previously unattainable.
- Further improved natural language processing
Midjourney V6 can better understand users’ text input and achieve the same communication and communication as fellow artists. This will result in more accurate and detailed image generation.
- Video generation function
Midjourney V6 will seamlessly transform static images into dynamic and moving scenes. Videos will be able to carry more content and plot than pictures, helping creators better tell their stories.
- 3D modeling function
Previously, delays in developing 3D features for Midjourney were due to a lack of data on 3D objects. But in later versions, Midjourney will launch 3D functionality. Compared with 2D, the 3D generated by Midjourney will have almost no quality loss.
- More precise generation control
Being able to change specific elements in an image without changing the entire composition, this kind of fine-tuning control will bring more flexibility to the creation, giving the creator more room for adjustment, and can push the resulting image into new directions. high.
And, the updated Midjourney V6 more accurately reflects prompt parameters in generated images, giving creators greater control over their creations.
- Drag and drop controls
New features that Midjourney is working on, like DragGAN, a new AI editing tool that allows you to make changes to images using simple drag-and-drop controls on them, may only be seen in the V7 release.
