Release and use
The 7 December 2022 release attributes changes to additional data, training and less restrictive filtering, while discussing compatibility with old and new prompting styles. It adjusts the 2.0 lineage rather than constituting an unrelated invention. Claims of improvement remain the publisher’s account.

Change in creative practice
Filtering participates in deciding which bodies, objects and relationships are readily generated. Version history therefore belongs alongside visual culture and platform governance; parameter count alone cannot explain every change in output.
