MidJourney unveils Pinterest-style moodboards and multi-model AI support

The AI image generation platform MidJourney has expanded its creative toolkit with new personalization features, including moodboards and multiple custom model profiles, enhancing the platform’s utility for its 19 million users.

Core feature updates: MidJourney’s latest release introduces Pinterest-style moodboards and support for multiple AI model profiles, allowing users to maintain different versions of the platform’s v6.1 image generator.

• Users can now upload collections of images to create inspiration boards that inform the AI’s generation style
• The system adapts to the visual elements present in uploaded images to create unique style profiles
• Multiple personalization profiles can be created and managed simultaneously, enabling quick switching between different artistic styles

Technical improvements: MidJourney has significantly enhanced the efficiency of its custom model creation process.

• The image ranking speed has increased fivefold
• Users now need only 40 ratings to create an initial profile, down from the previous requirement of 200
• Optimal model stability is achieved at 200 ratings, though users can provide thousands for greater precision
• The ranking process involves users selecting preferences between pairs of random images

Organizational enhancements: The platform has introduced several features to improve workflow management.

• Users can now name their different profiles for easier identification
• Multiple profiles can be designated as defaults
• Images can be tracked and associated with specific profiles
• These improvements particularly benefit teams and users managing multiple projects

Platform development: MidJourney continues to expand its feature set while maintaining user engagement.

• The company is actively seeking user feedback through its “ideas-and-features” channel
• These updates follow the recent introduction of Patchwork, an experimental collaborative image-making whiteboard feature
• Founder David Holz announced the updates on Discord, emphasizing the goal of making personalization more accessible

Future implications: While these updates represent significant improvements in AI image generation workflow management, the real test will be how effectively they integrate into professional creative processes and whether they can maintain quality and consistency across multiple personalization profiles.
