Midjourney is testing a Thinking Mode for image generation on its alpha website, alpha.midjourney.com. Its October 7, 2026 changelog calls it an early version and asks for feedback.
What to know
- You can rerun jobs made with V8.2, standard and edit, using “Rerun (Thinking)” under the lightbox.
- Midjourney says it looks at your image, finds where it missed your prompt (wrong objects, layout, anatomy or text) and generates again.
- In an earlier post, Midjourney said its tests show it helps with prompt accuracy, typography and coherence, and that it might offer it more broadly in future.
- It is a test on the alpha site, so it may change or not reach everyone.
Also in the same changelog
- Shared folders: invite people as Collaborators, who can generate into the folder, or as Viewers, who can browse it. Midjourney warns that sharing does not change image privacy, and non-stealth images can still appear on Explore and profiles.
- Folders can be pinned to the sidebar, and large moodboard uploads now show a progress bar.
