Overview

• Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang announced the collaboration on Friday, saying research teams from both companies will work to integrate Midjourney’s image and video generation into future Meta models and products.
• Wang described the arrangement as licensing Midjourney’s “aesthetic technology” with a technical collaboration rather than a simple product plug‑in.
• Financial and operational terms were not disclosed, and Meta declined to elaborate beyond Wang’s posts while Midjourney did not immediately comment.
• Midjourney CEO David Holz said the company remains independent with no outside investors.
• The partnership comes as Meta ramps its AI efforts with a large stake in Scale AI, the launch of Superintelligence Labs, and existing tools like Imagine and Movie Gen, even as Midjourney faces lawsuits from Disney and Universal over training data.
