Since its introduction in 2022, Midjourney has updated its AI image generator with several iterations it calls “models.” The latest release is version 5.1 (at the time of writing), and this model excels in coherence, prompt accuracy, and sharpness with fewer text artifacts and unwanted edges. Midjourney has also made this version more “opinionated,” meaning that the AI tool will form its own opinions to generate images when a user enters a shorter prompt.
