Midjourney V6
Midjourney V6 is the December 2023 image-model snapshot, not Midjourney's current default. Rechecked 2026-08-17: the product still lives at midjourney.com. We could not load the Cloudflare-protected docs HTML in this pass, so this page does not invent a Basic / Standard / Pro dollar table and does not freeze V6 as the live /imagine default. Treat V6 as a historical version name. Recheck the in-app version picker and the live docs before you quote a current default.
Compare FLUX 3 if you wanted Black Forest Labs' live multimodal model, GPT Image 2 if you wanted OpenAI stills, and Nano Banana if you wanted Gemini's official image surface.
Key Features
- A version, not the company: V6 shipped in December 2023 with stronger detail and prompt following than V5. That is a changelog, not a 2026 default.
- Discord plus web: The leftover product still used Discord and a web gallery. Recheck which surface Midjourney is pushing now.
- No invented seats: Older marketing talked about monthly/annual plans and commercial licenses on higher tiers. We did not re-open a public matrix, so those dollars stay off this table.
- Not a bench crown: Do not reuse leftover "best artistic quality vs everyone" copy as an audited 2026 ranking.
Use Cases
- People who need to know what V6 was when they see old prompts or
--v 6. - People comparing a 2023 Midjourney snapshot to FLUX 3 or GPT Image 2.
- People who were about to paste a V6-only subscription table into a 2026 deck.
Limitation: Docs were behind a Cloudflare challenge here. Recheck the live version list and plan page yourself.
Pricing

If a leftover blog still says V6 is the current Midjourney, treat this page as the correction.
Getting Started

Frequently Asked Questions
Is V6 still the default?
Not something we can claim from the HTML we fetched. Recheck the live picker. This page treats V6 as a 2023 snapshot.
How much is Midjourney?
We did not get a public matrix through Cloudflare. Recheck official docs.
Same as Nano Banana or Flux.1 Pro?
No. Nano Banana is Gemini. Flux.1 Pro is a previous BFL SKU.
Alternatives
- FLUX 3: Live BFL multimodal model.
- GPT Image 2: OpenAI stills.
- Nano Banana: Gemini official image surface.
Tips
- Call V6 a December 2023 snapshot.
- Do not invent plan dollars.
- Recheck the live version name before you write a contract.
Conclusion
Midjourney V6 is a 2023 version name, not a verified 2026 default and not a seat table we invented. Start at midjourney.com, then decide whether FLUX 3 or GPT Image 2 already covers the stills you need.

Hook OpenCode Go into Codex on Windows. Do Not Open a Second Toolkit.
A ChatGPT-signed Codex desktop app still shows mostly GPT in the picker. On Windows, enable only OpenCode Go and the Grok, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, and MiniMax models you already pay for appear in the same selector. Keys stay local. Native GPT stays put.
What Locks Codex Is the Picker, Not the Models
You already pay for OpenCode Go, Grok, and Z.ai, but the Codex picker still shows mostly GPT. The community project codex-router does not teach another install ritual. It puts subscriptions you already bought back into the selector, keeps keys on the machine, and leaves native GPT alone.
Seven AI Coding CLIs, Six Months: No Matter How Strong the Model, Work Needs Supervision
Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, omp and DeepSeek Harness all have personalities. After six months of deep use I run a division of labor: pi for the fastest cheapest reviews, omp for complex PRs, DeepSeek Harness on V4 Flash for high-frequency low-cost review, and Claude Code, Qoder and Cursor for writing. No matter how strong the model, work needs supervision — ideally from an independent third party.
