😮 MIDJOURNEY V6 IS HERE AND IT’S INSANE

Midjourney’s latest update, V6 is finally here and it’s an absolute game-changer!

Midjourney has arguably reclaimed its crown from DALL-E!

But can it do text yet?

YES! This is not a drill!

Midjourney’s new update can finally insert proper text into images!

BUT, I’ve tried it, and the results are similar to DALL-E - there are big inconsistencies.

Here’s a working result when I asked for a Christmas Card with “Merry Christmas”

V6 is still in alpha so I expect this to get better.

What else can it do?

You can now interact with the model with more natural prompts like you would with DALL-E.

On top of that, the realism has really stepped up a notch. Photorealistic images look absolutely incredible.

This is the next generation of image gen!

I asked it to make an image of “humans being terrified at Cthulu awakening”

Pretty good right?

How to access it now!

Assuming you have a Midjourney subscription, you can access it immediately!

All you need to do is enter “/settings” to your Discord Midjourney Bot, and change the model to V6.

You’re welcome!

💡AI-NSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

💰 ANTHROPIC RAISING MILLIONS

Anothropic, makers of everyone’s favourite Claude, are raising $750M!

The huge fundraiser sees the company valued at a staggering $18.4B!

Money money money

The insane new valuation means Anthropic’s value has grown from an estimated $4B to $18B in under a year…

Shame we couldn’t buy shares eh?

both Google and Amazon hold significant stakes in the company.

Claude is a highly-ranked competitor to ChatGPT, but it doesn’t mean there can be only one…

Daniela Amodei thinks the market is growing so rapidly that there’s plenty of room for multiple players to succeed.

“It’s a really unusual time from a business perspective because there’s just so much demand for large language models and really more demand than the industry can currently provide”

It turns out there is room for two at the top.
