Here’s a brief summary of the latest Midjourney Weekly Office Hours:

1. Upcoming Releases - Midjourney V6 is on track for a mid-December launch. - The rollout of new website functionalities has been postponed. Certain features may be accessible by next week.

2. Midjourney Website - The Collection and Downloader features are expected to launch next week. - The image creation tool is undergoing stress testing and will first be available to users who have generated over 10,000 images, contingent on successful testing. - According to David, the features related to collection, downloader, and image creation should be available by mid-December. - A potential new filter function is being considered for the homepage to showcase images based on user interests, such as landscapes or Nijis.

3. Midjourney V6 - V6 promises enhanced coherence, aesthetics, knowledge, and includes text drawing capabilities along with a new upscaling feature. - Developers are exploring a batch size option that lets users define the number of images produced per grid (e.g., 8x8, 2x2). - For larger batch sizes, the resolution will be set at 512 pixels. - A larger batch size will enable the bot to present users with a greater variety of artistic styles per task. - The new upscaler is set to be tested until the following Monday. - Some features absent in V6 will be integrated into V7. - V6 may operate slower depending on user activities. - A rating party will follow the release of V6.

4. Midjourney V7 - V7 could introduce a video feature that meets a certain quality threshold. - David describes “good enough” as functionality where most outputs are satisfactory for users. - Given the higher data training requirements for 3D, the video feature will be prioritized. - Specifics regarding the duration of videos per input remain unclear.

5. Future Outlook - Post-V6, the emphasis will shift to achieving character and stylistic consistency. - A new Style Tuner is in development, featuring consistent style codes across prompts, along with an instant feedback mechanism, anticipated for Q1 2024. It aims to be user-friendly. - The initial release of the Style Tuner may not include all 128 Style Directions, but more will be added over time. - With a team expansion of 4 to 5 times, operations are expected to accelerate in 2024, with team growth as the priority for 2023.
