Recommended because

This is worth tracking because it is a concrete model capability signal, not just a passing headline. The source preview points to a change in model capability, availability, benchmark behavior, or developer access. For builders and operators, "V8.1 is now the default model on Midjourney!" can be used as a checkpoint for model selection, product roadmaps, eval planning, and timing decisions. I keep this thread indexed so future searches around AI model updates, capability shifts, and developer adoption can land on a source-linked page instead of disappearing into a fast-moving feed from Midjourney.
