Version

Midjourney regularly introduces new model versions to improve coherency, efficiency, quality, and style. You can switch model versions using the --version or --v parameter or using the /settings command and selecting your preferred model version. Different models excel at producing different types of images.

Model Version 6.1

Version 6.1 was released on July 30, 2024 as the new default model. It produces more coherent images with more precise details and textures, and generates images approximately 25% faster than Version 6.

Prompt: vibrant California poppies --v 6.1

Prompt: high contrast surreal collage --v 6.1

Model Version 6

Midjourney Model Version 6 has enhanced prompt accuracy for longer inputs, improved coherence and knowledge, and advanced image prompting and remixing capabilities.

Midjourney Model Version 6 was released on December 20, 2023, and was the default model from February 14 to July 30, 2024.

Niji Model 6

The Niji model is a collaboration between Midjourney and Spellbrush tuned to produce anime and illustrative styles with vastly more knowledge of anime, anime styles, and anime aesthetics. It's excellent at dynamic and action shots and character-focused compositions.

To use this model, add the --niji 6 parameter to the end of a prompt, or use the /settings command and select 🌈 Niji version 6
