·1 views

TL;DR The Midjourney vs Flux fight is decided by intent, not quality. Midjourney (V8.1, Flux (FLUX.2, pay-per-image from $0.014 to $0.07) Midjourney runs as a web app (Discord still works) with V8.1 as the default model since June 2026 — V7 shipped in April 2025, V8 in March 2026, V8.1 in April 2026 with native 2K output and roughly 3x faster/cheaper HD generation.
