Welcome to Issue 38 of Imagine Weekly 👋
Midjourney has released their V7 Ranking Parties to help fine-tune their upcoming model. You can participate in Round 3 here: https://www.midjourney.com/rank-v7
Besides that, the hype around OpenAI’s 4o is still going strong. The results are mind-blowing, and it’s really fun to explore its huge variety. Not sure if the Midjourney team got caught by surprise of what OpenAi’s model is capable if. Let’s wait and see how V7 can compete.
