Relax mode for V8 Alpha

By Steven Van ·

Hey everyone! We have some quick V8 Alpha related updates to make today Relax mode is now available!

Midjourney has switched on relax mode for the Midjourney V8 Alpha, open to Standard, Pro and Mega subscribers. It works with all commands except combining --hd and --q 4 together, though the company warns availability or speed could change if servers run short, with more capacity expected mid to late next week.

  • A new, faster version of SREF and Moodboards is now the default: about 4x faster and cheaper than before, though less accurate, and it now supports --hd and works better with --p, --stylize and --exp. The previous version stays available by adding --sv 6 to a prompt.
  • Midjourney is training a new V8 version, possibly called V8.1, expected in one to three weeks. It aims to improve default aesthetics, creativity, coherence and image prompts, along with better moodboards and SREFs, and possibly 2K default resolution. The current V8 alpha will likely be removed once it ships.

V8 remains available at alpha.midjourney.com, and Midjourney is taking feedback and ratings through Discord.
