Midjourney V8 alpha!

Everyone has been waiting for the new model from MJ and here it is (well, almost)! What they promise: - better understanding of complex prompts - stronger personalization / sref / moodboards - more detailed and cohesive images - better text rendering, especially if written in quotes - generation about 5 times faster What is important: - there is --hd (native 2K) and --q 4 for greater coherence - --raw, --chaos, --weird, --exp are supported - --hd, --q 4, sref, and moodboards are currently 4 times more expensive and slower Midjourney themselves recommend using long prompts, --raw, sref, and moodboards more actively for the best results. I tested it on simple short prompts - well, it was okay. The model is still clearly undertrained. Early access to the model here: alpha.midjourney.com.
