Stable Diffusion AND Midjourney Get Upgrades ✨

*warning: if you’re afraid of AI art, just throw your computer out the window.

With that settled, let’s dive in…

Stable Diffusion and Midjourney are the best two AI art generators and both just leveled up.

Stability announced an upgraded version of SDXL, its flagship text-to-image model (available via Clipdrop). The model is simply way more detailed than before:

You can also generate variations and reconstructions of existing images. Yup, it’s also open-source (a.k.a. available to the public).

Midjourney must’ve caught wind that Stable Diffusion was catching up, ‘cuz they rolled out their own model upgrade too.

Midjourney v5.1 vs. Midjourney v5.2

It’s a subtler difference, but it’s noticeably sharper. There’s also a neat new feature lets you “zoom out” an image.

Why it matters: Marvel’s AI-produced opening credits for Secret Invision is just the start. Text-to-image models are advancing at a blistering pace and will soon fuel incredible innovation in films, TV, and videos.
