By Midjourney
Model family: Midjourney
Midjourney V8.1 Alpha is a web-only alpha release that pushes the V8 line toward faster, higher-resolution generation and more guided creation. Official docs say it launched on 14-04-2026, supports default 2048px HD output, and keeps seed-locked reruns between SD and HD. The compatibility table shows image prompts, style references, style codes, moodboards, chaos, raw, stylize, weird, tile, relax mode, and conversational mode, while character reference and the --no parameter are still unsupported in V8.1 Alpha. Midjourney’s Draft/Conversational docs also confirm voice-based conversational prompting, though voice requires Draft Mode. Your screenshot matches this release positioning and adds the public-facing claim of 3x faster and 3x cheaper versus V8.
