Midjourney Announces Upgrades Including V6 and Standalone Site
In Brief
Midjourney is working on a website and mobile app, similar to Stability AI’s DreamStudio.
The website will work on a standalone domain, with social mechanics and surveys.
The mobile app will be a native iOS app for iOS and non-native Android.
In a recent update, Midjourney has announced an array of developments aimed at enhancing user experience and streamlining their platform.

1. Standalone Website Development
Midjourney is transitioning from Discord to launch its standalone website. This significant shift focuses on integrating user-friendly social mechanics on the main page. Additionally, users will soon be able to participate in surveys through the website. An immediate incentive for participation includes potential rewards such as free GPU hours, with some of these survey opportunities currently available on Discord.
2. Mobile Application
Midjourney is broadening its reach with the testing of a mobile application. iOS users can expect a native application, while Android users will receive a non-native version. However, it remains unclear what the distinction between native and non-native entails for the Android platform. For users who prefer browsing, the Midjourney website will be optimized for mobile device usage.

5. Data Center Enhancements
To provide a faster and efficient user experience, Midjourney will be updating its data centers. This upgrade will lead to quicker image generations, particularly beneficial for pro and mega level users. The acceleration is due to the forthcoming hardware enhancements. However, it’s worth noting that the speed-up for image generation might not be immediately available for all user levels, owing to limited computational resources.
6. Introduction of Turbo Mode
Midjourney is offering an exciting feature named “Turbo Mode,” which is currently available for users across all levels. This mode boasts a performance that’s four times faster than the standard mode. Users can easily activate Turbo mode by adding the command –turbo or using /turbo.
In conclusion, these enhancements and additions to the Midjourney platform underscore the company’s commitment to offering a seamless and efficient experience to its users. With a standalone website, mobile application, and improved versions on the horizon, Midjourney is poised to cater to the evolving needs of its growing user base.
