On October 30, 2026, BioComputingCo launched an image-to-video model API called mischief 1. According to a report by Rohan Paul, the model applies the information-processing approach of human neurons cultured on chips with about 4,000 electrodes to the open-source video model Wan 2.2, adding less than 0.1% parameters on top of Wan 2.2; the company says its quality is on par with Wan 2.2 and it is 5 times faster, starting at 0.5 cents per second, and it is already available on fal and OpenRouter and will launch on AWS Marketplace; the model itself contains no living cells. OpenRouter launched the model on October 31, saying it is based on four years of research on culturing real brain cells on electrodes, and that it supports inputting a starting image and a prompt to output 3-second or 5-second clips at 480p or 720p, with prices starting at $0.005 per second.

BioComputing Launches mischief 1 Video Model API Based on Neuron Experiments
BioComputing has launched an image-to-video model API called mischief 1, which applies the way human neurons cultured on chips with about 4,000 electrodes process information to the open-source video model Wan 2.2. The model adds less than 0.1% parameters on top of Wan 2.2, and the company says its quality is on par with Wan 2.2 while being 5 times faster, starting at 0.5 cents per second. It is already available on fal and OpenRouter and will launch on AWS Marketplace. The model itself contains no living cells.

TBC Launches Neuron-Inspired Video Model Mischief Based on Wan 2.2
The Biological Computing Co. (TBC) will launch its image-to-video model TBC Mischief on October 30 via fal.ai. The model is based on Wan 2.2, and the company claims it delivers 5x faster generation, 80% lower cost, and better image quality, but has not provided independent benchmarks. Mischief is priced at $0.02 per second of generated video and will be free until November 2; TBC says Wonder Studios generated 100 five-second clips in a batch in about 6 minutes. Its approach uses electrical activity recordings from cultured neural networks to guide research, then modifies an existing diffusion Transformer with a post-training adapter layer that is less than 0.1% of the underlying model's parameter count, with inference still running as software on conventional AI hardware.
