The 10 most recent dated models · time × selection tier

No dated, classified models to plot in this category.

Horizontal distance follows calendar time. Vertical bands are selection tiers, not benchmark scores; labels may occupy separate tracks within a tier. Select a model to inspect its source. 3 models without a date or tier are excluded.

Columns show positioning, rows show release months. Blank cells mean no listed model in that combination. Unknown dates are always placed last.

Dates prefer official model or family announcements. Where only API availability is verified, it is explicitly labeled API release, not a model debut. Directory dates are unverified. Missing dates are never inferred from names or listing dates; generic endpoints and unresolved aliases are not assigned a version launch date.

How the tiers work

These are Crazyrouter selection tiers for Midjourney, not the vendor's official ratings. Compare within the same category and generation; newer or more expensive does not automatically mean a better fit.

Classification reviewed

Categories follow output task: text, image, video, embeddings and audio/music are compared separately; price is a cross-check, not a capability score.

Flagship: capability, complex tasks, quality or control come first; sharing a tier does not imply equal capability.

Mainstream: balances capability, latency and cost for production; speed and balanced variants are classified by use, not price alone.

Value: cost, latency or throughput come first; lower cost does not imply better quality on every task.

Coding, reasoning, speed and specialist capabilities are descriptive tags; output modalities are assessed separately, with video and audio prices read alongside specs and duration.

Questions & answers

Which models appear here?
Every entry from this provider in the current Pricing catalog, including models without a separate guide.
Why is a model unclassified?
Its exact-version positioning has not yet been verified. Listing a model does not assign it a capability tier.
Where can I find the billing units?
Open the Pricing link for the model. Billing units and request options vary by endpoint.
