If you're navigating the AI-generated content landscape, you've likely encountered Midjourney. But are you familiar with its feature known as "Permutation Prompts"?

​This is a must-try for anyone aiming to generate diverse variations with a single command. Let's dig in!

​What Are Permutation Prompts?

Permutation Prompts let you whip up multiple versions of a prompt by enclosing a list of options within curly braces {}. For instance, if you input /imagine prompt a {blue, orange, purple} cat, Midjourney will churn out three different jobs:
  1. /imagine prompt a blue cat
  2. /imagine prompt an orange cat
  3. /imagine prompt a purple cat
It's important to note that you need to have a subscription to access this feature, and the permutations will process in fast mode.

​More Than Just Text: Parameters and Weights

​Permutation Prompts aren't confined to text alone. You can also include image prompts, parameters, and prompt weights. For instance, you could modify the Midjourney version of your generated images with a prompt like /imagine a cosmic cat --{v 5, niji, test}.

Advanced Usage: Nested Permutations

If you're up for a challenge, nested permutations are worth exploring. For instance, /imagine prompt a {shark, dolphin} {swimming, leaping} in a {lake, ocean} will generate eight different jobs, each with a unique combination of the options.

​Quick Tips

  • You need a Midjourney subscription for this feature to work. 
  • Permutation Prompts are available only in Fast Mode.
  • Each job consumes GPU minutes, so be mindful of your usage.
  • You'll receive a confirmation message before the jobs start.

​Wrapping Up

​Permutation Prompts in Midjourney offer a streamlined way to explore lots of possibilities of AI-generated content quickly. This feature can optimize your time and add a layer of creativity to your projects by presenting more unique options to choose from.
