Key Takeaways:
MidJourney has rolled out Version 6.1 of its Image Model, bringing substantial improvements in image coherence and quality. Highlights of V6.1 include more accurate representation of human and animal features, reduced pixel artifacts, and enhanced texture detail. The update also introduces a new personalization model and a --q 2 mode for added texturing, albeit with potential coherence trade-offs. Furthermore, V6.1 promises a roughly 25% faster performance for standard image jobs and better text accuracy for word prompts. While inpainting/outpainting still relies on the V6.0 model, users can effortlessly revert to V6.0 settings. Looking ahead, MidJourney aims to release V6.2 based on V6.1 usage data and community feedback.
