I don't get the hype. Tested it with the same prompts I used with Midjourney, and the results are worse than in Midjourney a year ago. What am I missing?

Midjourney hasn't been SOTA for over a year. Even the latest release of version 7 scores extremely low on prompt adherence only managing to get 2 out of 12 prompts correct. Even Flux Dev running locally consistently out performs it.

Here's a comparison of Flux Dev, MJ, Imagen, and Flash 2.5.

That being said, if image fidelity is absolutely paramount and/or your prompts are relatively simple - Midjourney can still be fun to experiment with particularly if you crank up the weirdness / chaos parameters.
