PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

Midjourney moves away from Discord and launches its own web platform

Want to experiment with Midjourney but don’t want to sign up for Discord? You’re in luck—Midjourney now lets you create up to 25 images for free (on a temporary free trial), all without needing to sign up for Discord. The announcement came from CEO David Holz (yes, on Discord), but now you can use the tool directly through a dedicated web app.

Previously, using Midjourney meant navigating its Discord server and learning a specific prompt format, which worked well for dedicated users but felt like a hassle for many. Now, you can just head to Midjourney’s site, sign up, and start creating.

The website was originally only available to those who had already made 10,000 images via Discord—quite the milestone—but it’s now open to everyone. You still need to register, but you can use your Google account if that’s easier for you.

Once you’re signed in, you can browse images in the ‘Explore’ section for ideas, and when you’re ready to create, simply enter your prompt in the ‘Create’ tab. The AI will generate four images based on what you’ve entered, and if you want to tweak them, you can use the “Strong” or “Subtle” options to adjust the output.

After your 25 free images, you’ll need to subscribe if you want to keep creating, and plans start at $10 per month for the basic tier.

FROM DEEPER LEARNING

This AI-powered code-editor is built by Zed in collaboration with Anthropic

AI and developer tools go hand in hand. Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene a few years ago, seasoned developers and hobby developers alike have been using LLMs (large language models) to fix bugs, explain functions, and even build entire apps.

Alongside that, new AI tools like ShellMate and Ellipsis have sprung up with the goal of making a developer's life easier, and already popular tools have begun to adopt the technology to improve their product offerings. One of them is Zed, the popular Rust-based, multiplayer code editor built by the creators of Atom and Treesitter.

Over the past two years, the Zed team has quietly experimented with LLMs to build a fast, reliable text editor that ships with the tools devs need right out of the box. That work caught the eye of Anthropic, spurring a conversation that quickly became collaboration.

The result is Zed AI, a hosted service developed in tandem with Anthropic that gives developers the ability to use AI right inside their code editor.
