What stands out
What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.
Instruction-based edit model
Found after launch
V8.2 edit model (Aug 2026) edits images from plain instructions, takes up to 4 image references (replacing Omni Reference / Character Reference / Retexture) and does inpainting/outpainting.
Improved personalization
V8.2 release focused on aesthetics and personalization profiles that better learn a user’s taste from image ratings.
Rewritten V8 core with native 2K and better text
V8 line (alpha 2026-03-17, V8.1 2026-04-14) was rebuilt from scratch: much faster jobs, HD/2K output, better prompt following and in-image text.
Notes
No official public API (web app/Discord only; subscription). V8 alpha 2026-03-17, V8.1 2026-04-14 (default from 2026-06-10), V8.2 2026-07-24 - reportedly now default (not confirmed on an official page). Select with --v 8.2 (syntax per docs; docs page blocked).
