Notable development such as GPT-4

Midjourney v5 is now available. The new model can produce more realistic and detailed images. We explain all this to you.

If you follow Frandroid diligently, you’ve probably noticed the rendered images thanks to Midjourney. We use this tool to create illustrations. Recently, a fifth edition was launched, featuring a significantly reworked neural architecture and incorporating new aesthetic approaches. While GPT-4 gets a lot of media coverage, Midjourney is another tool that also deserves our attention and should be watched closely.

What is Midjourney?

Midjourney is an independent research laboratory that has developed the eponymous program based on artificial intelligence. This program is designed to generate images from text descriptions, such as OpenAI’s DALL-E and stable diffusion. Although the underlying technology appears to be Stable Diffusion, the creators of Midjourney have developed their own unique style, using an in-house algorithm, which has attracted a lot of attention.

The tool has been in open beta since July 2022. Since then, it has been attracting a growing number of users: version 2 of their algorithm was launched in April 2022, followed by version 3 in July of the same year. On November 10, 2022, the initial iteration of version 4 was released to users. Finally, Midjourney is available in version 5 since March 15, 2022.

Midjourney works with simple words, but also uses “prompts” – advanced commands – to create detailed and accurate images with the Midjourney bot. these fast Provide a text description of the image you want to create and direct the robot in achieving it. Whether you want a photograph, a painting, or a quick sketch, the summoned The robot can help create the exact image you want to achieve.

What changes in this fifth mountain?

Midjourney creator David Holz describes V5 as a professional tool because, unlike its previous versions, it’s not limited to specific art styles and offers a wide variety of visual results. However, this V5 engine is still in its alpha stage and will see “significant changes” before the final release.

In short, it allows for greater creative freedom, but that freedom must be tamed. According to David Holz, this may include the use of fast More detailed detailing details aspects of the image, such as lighting and atmosphere, to achieve the desired result. Note, in passing, that it is important to specify the exact details in order for the robot to generate specific items. Think about the subject, medium, environment, lighting, color, mood, and composition. Anything not mentioned will be randomly generated.

After trying version 5, we saw more accurate and relevant results and fewer anomalies or failures. However, creating images is slower. This situation is similar to what can be seen with GPT-4 on ChatGPT. The V5 release offers significant improvements in language comprehension, accuracy, and aesthetic flexibility, all of which contribute to generating breathtaking images. The depth and richness of the images he produces are truly astounding, and the range of aesthetics he can conjure up is amazing.
