Latest update (11-08 00:00): Midjourney's limits: no public API, weak text rendering, and no production-ready video control

Overview: Luma AI, a competitor, says Midjourney has historically had no public API, which limits enterprise automation and integration with production workflows. In the same article, Luma AI also says Midjourney struggles with text rendering, character consistency across generations, and granular edits, and that standard access requires a paid subscription. These are Luma AI's claims in its own article, and the report does not include independent testing to confirm them.
