V8.1 is now the default model on Midjourney!

Hi everyone,

After your testing and feedback, we've updated the default model from V7 to V8.1!

A reminder of what's new in V8.1:

• The model is smarter, more coherent, better adheres to detailed prompts, and renders text better than ever
• With HD mode enabled, V8.1 renders at twice the size and 4x the resolution of V7 images
• V8.1 is incredibly fast. Your images appear in only 4 seconds in SD, and 12 seconds in HD
• Style references, personalization, and aesthetics remain consistent between V7 and V8.1

Note:

• V7 omni-reference is available to use while we finish training the improved version for V8
• Now that V8.1 is the default, we will be deprecating our V8.0 alpha model in two weeks
