Midjourney Releases Alpha Version of V7: The model has personalization turned on by default, requiring users to unlock this feature (taking approximately 5 minutes) before use, with the ability to toggle it on or off at any time. The announcement introduces Draft Mode as their next flagship feature, which costs half as much and renders images 10 times faster than standard mode. Some features, including upscaling, editing, and retexturing, will temporarily use V6 models, with updates planned for the future. Moodboards and SREF functionality will work with V7, with performance improvements expected in subsequent updates. The roadmap includes new features every week or two for the next 60 days, with a new V7 character and object reference identified as the most significant upcoming feature. V7 is launching in two modes, Turbo and Relax, with the standard speed mode requiring more optimization time before release. The pricing structure changes with V7, as Turbo jobs cost twice as much as normal V6 jobs, while Draft jobs cost half as much.
