Strategic Shift: Why We Are Moving Beyond Midjourney to Flux and Next-Gen Engines
The landscape of generative AI is moving at a breath-taking pace. As we navigate the innovations of 2026, it has become clear that the “pioneer” tools of yesterday are being outpaced by a new generation of high-performance architecture. To ensure our users have access to the most sophisticated creative tools available, we are excited to announce a strategic shift in our platform’s development.
We will be transitioning our primary focus away from Midjourney to embrace the superior capabilities of Flux, Google Gemini, and Bytedance’s latest engines.
The Roadmap: What You Need to Know
We understand that many of our creators have built their workflows around Midjourney. To ensure a smooth transition, we will continue to provide full Midjourney support until August 2026. This gives you ample time to finish ongoing projects while beginning to explore the enhanced features of our new core engines.
Why the Shift? The Rise of “Engine 2.0”
While Midjourney revolutionised the industry with its artistic flair, the requirements for professional AI imagery have evolved. Our research and testing show that the latest engines from Black Forest Labs (Flux), Google, and Bytedance offer several critical advantages:
- Unparalleled Photorealism: Flux has set a new benchmark for anatomical accuracy—particularly with hands and eyes—minimising the “uncanny valley” effect that often plagued earlier models.
- Superior Text Rendering: Gone are the days of garbled letters. The latest Google and Bytedance engines now handle complex typography with ease, making them indispensable for marketing and graphic design.
- Open-Weight Flexibility: Flux’s architecture allows for deeper customisation and faster iteration, meaning we can deliver a more tailored experience to our users.
- Prompt Adherence: Newer engines demonstrate a much more nuanced understanding of complex, multi-layered instructions compared to the stylised but sometimes unpredictable nature of Midjourney.
Embracing the Future of Creativity
This is more than just a technical update; it is a commitment to quality. By focusing our resources on these high-performance engines, we can offer faster generation times and higher-resolution outputs that meet the professional standards of 2026.
We are incredibly excited about the creative possibilities this new chapter opens up. Stay tuned for upcoming tutorials and presets designed specifically for the Flux and Gemini ecosystems.
