Midjourney has made its web interface available to all users and reintroduced free trial image generation. The company had previously suspended free use after AI images generated with Midjourney were spread on social media platforms. You can watch a video tutorial demonstrating the new web interface below. This move may be Midjourney's response to the recent launch of Ideogram 2.0.
German Aleph Alpha Research and TU Darmstadt establish joint laboratory "Lab 1141".Aleph Alpha Research is the research arm of the Heidelberg-based AI company Aleph Alpha. The goal is to further develop explainability, safety, and transparency for real-world applications of generative AI. The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial development. The lab will also create new PhD positions at TU Darmstadt, funded by Aleph Alpha research grants. Joint symposia and internships are also planned. "Lab 1141" is also part of the IPAI ecosystem and is expected to enhance Aleph Alpha's product portfolio. TU Darmstadt already cooperates with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence.
