Midjourney shipped two image-world updates: an early peek at V8.2 and a much faster way to explore styles.
Preview V8.2
Add --preview to your prompt for an early look at V8.2 aesthetics and personalization — a way to sample where Midjourney's next model is heading before it fully lands.
Explore style space 24x faster
Big-batch draft mode now works with --sref random, letting you sweep through style references roughly 24x faster than before. It turns style discovery from a slow trial-and-error loop into rapid exploration.
Why it matters
Finding the right look is the hard part of image generation. Faster draft batches plus random style references make it practical to explore many directions quickly, and --preview keeps power users on the leading edge of the model.
