Midjourney v7 is tailored for users needing high-quality image generation with excellent prompt understanding and artistic control. GitHub Copilot X is designed for developers seeking code generation assistance, IDE integration, and support for numerous programming languages, but requires careful code review due to potential security vulnerabilities.
| Attribute | Midjourney v7 | GitHub Copilot X |
|---|---|---|
| Image Generation Quality | Improved image quality with richer textures and more coherent details, especially in bodies, hands, and objects. Captures skin texture with more realism and depth. Better alignment between text prompts and output. | Not available |
| Code Generation Accuracy | Not applicable, as it is an image generation model, not a code generation tool. | Provides accurate code suggestions, especially in well-represented languages. Includes a real-time vulnerability filter. A 2021 study found that around 40% of Copilot's generated code had security vulnerabilities when developers weren't careful. |
| Text-to-Image Prompt Understanding | Handles text and image prompts with stunning precision. Grasps nuanced and abstract prompts better than previous versions. Can now understand and generate text in images better, even in Japanese. | Not available |
| Code Suggestion Relevance | Not applicable. | Provides real-time code suggestions, ranging from single-line completions to entire function implementations. Relevance is higher in languages with more training data. |
| Customization Options | Offers options to tweak stylization, weirdness, and variety. Stylization influences how strongly the Midjourney aesthetic is applied. Lower values produce images that closely match the prompt but are less artistic, while higher values create more artistic images but less connected to the prompt. A new parameter, `--exp`, has been added to control image aesthetics. Higher values can produce more detailed and dynamic visuals but may reduce the accuracy of the prompt interpretation. Recommended values range from 5 to 50. Offers 'raw mode' that replaces the default aesthetic of some Midjourney Model Versions, which can help you create more photo-realistic images, cinematic scenes, or cuter characters. Personalization profiles allow the AI to understand your unique tastes by rating sample images. | Offers customization through custom instructions. Users can adjust settings to control data sharing and privacy. Organizations can manage licenses, control policies, and exclude data from training the AI models. |
| Supported Programming Languages | Not applicable. | Supports a wide array of languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, C, C++, C#, PHP, Shell Scripting (Bash), HTML, CSS, Markdown, Kotlin, and Swift. Performance can vary across different languages. |
| Integration with Development Environments | Not applicable. | Integrates with popular IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and Azure Data Studio. Natively built into GitHub. Includes code completion, chat functionality, and edit mode. |
| Community Support and Resources | Access Midjourney through their Discord server or website. | Has a Trust Center addressing security, privacy, compliance, and intellectual property concerns. Community support available through GitHub Community discussions. |
| Pricing Model | Basic: $10/month, Standard: $30/month, Pro: $60/month, Mega: $120/month. Committing to an annual plan gives a 20% discount. | Offers Free, Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise tiers. |
| Scalability for Large Projects | Not available | GitHub Copilot Enterprise is designed for larger organizations and includes features for centralized management and customization. It can index an organization's codebase for more tailored suggestions. |
| Security and Privacy | Not available | Has filters to block or notify users of insecure code patterns. Security risks include leakage of sensitive information and generation of insecure code. Review code suggestions carefully and avoid including secrets in the code. |
| Real-time Collaboration Features | Not available | Not available |
