In the news
Midjourney launches its V8.2 image model
On July 24, 2026 Midjourney announced that it was launching its V8.2 image model that day. The post says the update focuses on aesthetics, image quality, and personalization, that random low-quality results should be much less frequent, and that creating personalization profiles for V8.2 draws on a larger and improved pool of images. On August 27, 2026 Midjourney began letting everyone test its first V8.2 image edit model, which supports instruction-based editing, inpainting, and outpainting. V8.2 is offered through Midjourney's own service; the post does not describe a release of model weights. USASI has not tested V8.2.
Midjourney announces its first acquisition, Co–Star
On July 23, 2026 Midjourney announced on its updates blog that its first acquisition is Co–Star. The post says Co–Star's founder and team will join Midjourney to help build a broader organization around product and design, while Co–Star itself will remain entirely under its founder's control and direction. The post links the move to plans for what it calls a very unusual research lab, starting with Midjourney Medical, and to half a dozen projects it expects to announce over the following six months. The post does not give financial terms or say whether the transaction has closed.

U.S. eligibility
Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters
The headquarters label rests on the EU trader information shown on the Ireland App Store listing for Midjourney's niji・journey app, in which Midjourney, Inc. identifies itself as a trader and gives an address at 611 Gateway Blvd Ste 120, South San Francisco, California, United States; the listing does not describe this address as a headquarters. Separately, a June 2025 federal copyright complaint filed against the company by Disney and Universal alleges that Midjourney, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in San Francisco, California. Midjourney's main website and documentation block automated access, so its own terms and help pages could not be read for this review.23
