The latest version of Midjourney revolutionizes AI image generation through personalized aesthetics and accelerated work processes. Released in April 2025, version 7 brings fundamental changes that open up new possibilities for creative professionals and tech enthusiasts alike.
The most notable feature of Midjourney V7 is personalization, which is enabled by default and requires users to rate 200 pairs of images to create an individual aesthetic profile. This approach uses contrast learning: by selecting preferred images from random pairs, users indirectly train a neural network that translates their visual preferences into a 512-dimensional embedding space. This personalization works independently of the prompt context and enables different styles – from photorealism to anime-inspired representations.
Another breakthrough is the Draft Mode, which reduces costs by 50% and increases rendering speed tenfold. This feature works with reduced resolution (768×432 pixels) and simplified denoising steps, allowing for quick exploration of composition ideas.
The technical architecture of V7 has been completely redesigned and is fundamentally different from previous versions. The model uses a hybrid approach that integrates elements of diffusion-based frameworks and autoregressive techniques. This allows finer control over the output quality. Of particular note is the improvement in the rendering of human hands – a long-standing problem for AI image generators. V7 now generates photorealistic details such as subcutaneous veins, fingernail microtextures and anatomically plausible joint positions.
Compared to previous versions, V7 performs significantly better in A/B tests: hand rendering accuracy increased from 62% to 89%, texture detail from 3.9/5 to 4.7/5 and prompt compliance from 81% to 93%. Compared to OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, V7 offers more stylistic flexibility, but lags somewhat behind in terms of text rendering accuracy.
