What Midjourney is
Midjourney is an AI research lab known for image generation, and the product built on its models. The official homepage introduces it as “a community-funded research lab of 60 people known for building the most beautiful AI models in the world,” covering image and video models. Team size, funding approach, and product direction follow the wording on the official homepage.
Usage and boundaries
Users access Midjourney’s image generation and editing features through the official website; the company points product questions and support to its Discord and help pages. Version information changes with model releases, so the current version number and update notes belong on the official homepage and blog.
Version naming deserves care: many version labels and nicknames circulate in the community, and version numbers seen online do not always match official release names. Check the official pages instead of relying on third-party retellings.
Discussion in the show
In Weekly #002’s chapter “音乐与图像编辑：可控修改的进步与局限” (Music and image editing: progress and limits of controlled modification), Orange invoked Midjourney as a comparison while arguing that Suno faces no real competitor: in his view in the Chinese transcript, Midjourney, like Suno, has no rivals and is already SOTA. When the same chapter discussed version updates focused on editing, Orange said “Midjourney 2.5 也是” (“Midjourney 2.5 too”) in the Chinese transcript, alongside GPT Image 2.5’s stable editing; Qiaomu added that people around him saw little noticeable difference. The “2.5” version number comes from a participant’s remark and does not appear on the official homepage, so it is not cited as fact. These are participant impressions and judgments, not independent evaluations.
