Midjourney v7

Midjourney
Verdict

A versatile model, balanced across most use cases.

Overview

Midjourney v7 remains the reference for artistic image quality and photorealism. Its interface (historically Discord, now web) is less intuitive than DALL-E for beginners. But for pros, it's the go-to tool.

    What the vendor offers and documents for professional use in Europe. An undocumented criterion counts as zero and stays visible: the score rises when the vendor publishes, not when we assume.
