Midjourney v7

Midjourney v7 is the most recognizable AI image generator, with the strongest aesthetic signature in the category. On Astorie you get V7 for photoreal and painterly work, Niji 7 for anime, Omni Reference for character lock-in, and Stylization, Variety, and Weirdness sliders for fine control — all from the canvas, no Discord required.

Midjourney v7 became the default model on midjourney.com in mid-2025 and remains the workhorse used by most professional Midjourney users in 2026 — it shipped major upgrades to hand and face rendering, in-image text, and prompt adherence over v6.1. Niji 7, the dedicated anime variant, launched January 9, 2026 with sharper eye and reflection rendering, an upgraded --sref style reference, and tighter prompt literalism. Astorie exposes both as a single Midjourney v7 node through the Youchuan API — every call returns a 2x2 grid of 4 images. Omni Reference — Midjourney v7's identity-lock system that replaces the old --cref character reference — works for characters, products, vehicles, or logos. Three sliders shape every generation: Stylization (0–1000, default 100) controls how much aesthetic license the model takes, Variety (0–100, default 0) spreads the four grid images further apart, and Weirdness (0–3000, default 0) pushes outputs away from the average Midjourney generation. On Astorie, chain Midjourney into Runway Gen4 or Kling for image-to-video, into Suno for soundtrack, and into FLUX Kontext when you need pixel-level edits — Midjourney itself does not expose inpainting here, so use Kontext or GPT Image 1.5 downstream for surgical fixes. Because access is API-driven, you avoid the account-ban risk that comes with Selenium-based "Midjourney API" wrappers that scrape Discord.
