V7 has personalization turned on by default, raising the bar for how well we can interpret what you want and what you find beautiful. V7 introduces Draft Mode, half the cost and 10x the speed. It's the best way to iterate on ideas ever.
Making Midjourney more accessible and affordable (via Draft Mode) is going to be a major unlock, just like ChatGPT did by unlocking Studio Ghibli images:
We think Draft mode is the best way ever to iterate on ideas. If you like something click ‘enhance’ or ‘vary’ on the image and it will re-render it at full quality. Please note: Draft images are lower quality than standard mode - but the behavior and aesthetics are very consistent - so it’s a faithful way to iterate.
It's been 2.5 years since @Midjourneyv6 launched in Sep 2022. Crazy to think how much the competitive landscape has evolved since then!
