V8.2 focuses on visual quality and personalization. Its release expands the image pool used to build preference profiles and improves how those profiles affect generation.
What the release provides
Released on 24 July 2026, V8.2 updates the model's default aesthetics and reduces unexpected low-quality results, according to Midjourney. Existing personalization profiles can be used with the release.Midjourney V8.2 release
How to use it well
Practical guidance. Compare a prompt with personalization off and on before tuning other controls. Save the profile code with the prompt so you can explain the visual differences later.
Draft mode explores many compositions
On the website, V8.2 Draft mode makes 24 images at 512 by 512 pixels per prompt. These are lower-quality drafts. Vary or Remix can generate selected results at standard or high definition.Midjourney Draft and Conversational Modes
Thinking Mode remains experimental
An October 2026 Alpha experiment adds Rerun (Thinking). Midjourney is testing whether additional processing improves prompt accuracy, typography, and coherence. This experiment is a mode, not a separately named public model.Experimental Thinking Mode
