[Midjourney Latest News] October 15 Office Hours Summary

Hello!
Here is a summary of the Midjourney "Office Hours" held on October 15.

Currently, the main focus is on version 8, but version 7.1 is being tested among guides and moderators.
According to David, while prompt accuracy has improved, there are no major improvements in other areas yet.

Therefore, there is a possibility that features such as a new personalization system or draft mode may be added in the future.
However, he mentioned that they might also decide to skip the release entirely.

Development of the Style Finder is also progressing well.
On the other hand, the Style Creator is a bit complex, and testing is proving difficult.
Because of this, they may split the release and publish the Style Creator later once it is ready.

They are also working on a user profile feature, which is scheduled to be released soon.

The "Style Ranking Party" is also still ongoing.
You can check this out in the tasks section of the official Midjourney website, so please join if you are interested.

Regarding Midjourney TV, new features have been added.
By adding a "slash + number" to the end of the URL, you can now display multiple videos on the screen at the same time.
For example, if you enter "midjourney.tv/4", a total of 16 videos, 4 by 4, will play simultaneously.
You can set it from 1 to 4, but 4 might be a bit overwhelming, haha.

Also, it seems they are going to hold an event.
Applications seem to have already started.
By the way, the first location will be San Francisco.

Furthermore, official merchandise is scheduled to be added soon.
This is expected to include clothing and accessories.

They also mentioned that they have hired a new executive staff member to manage a hardware project that is currently underway in secret.
The fact that they went out of their way to announce it suggests that they must have brought in someone quite talented.

That concludes the summary of the Midjourney Office Hours.
