V4 Model Updates
During our latest AMA, we announced significant enhancements to our V4 model that are set to boost your user experience and broaden the spectrum of your creativity.
For subscribers, you'll enjoy access to all the new features and benefits that come with V4. If you're contemplating a subscription, explore the plethora of perks waiting for you in our #subscribers-benefits channel.
One update that stands out is the 4K High-Res Upscaling. This feature allows your upscaled images to attain a remarkable 4K resolution – a quadruple improvement from the original V3 and a leap ahead from most default upscales on other platforms. Due to Discord's limitations, you might need to save and view the image on your computer to fully appreciate the 4K quality.
Additionally, we've rolled out a new Zoom Out feature which lets you 'outpaint' on all four corners of your image. This expands the context and creativity of your artworks. We've also enhanced the accuracy of non-English prompts and fine-tuned the model outputs for a smoother and more efficient user experience.
We can't wait for you to delve into these enhancements and share your feedback!
Weekly Theme Contest
We also discussed our Weekly Theme Contest. Each week we reveal a new theme and you can create and submit an image inspired by that theme. After creating your image, submit it to the #weekly-theme channel, don't forget to include a link to the channel you used to generate the image. Once the submissions close, voting opens! Add a star emoji under the image you love most. We announce the winners on the #theme-winner channel.
Prompt Challenge
On top of the theme contest, we have a Prompt Challenge where we provide a prompt and you create a masterpiece out of it. The challenge rules are available in the #rules channel and you can submit your entries in the #prompt-challenge-submission channel. The winning participant each month, chosen by community voting, receives a year of Sapphire Membership, giving you exclusive benefits and features on BlueWillow.
Q&A
Lastly, we had an engaging Q&A session. Here are some highlights:

Question: What do you think the future of pricing for AI art or services will be?
Answer: As the AI art industry matures, we expect the pricing to become more stabilized. We aim to offer value for money and maintain accessibility for all our users.
