Biological Computing Co. Launches Mischief 1, Turning Neuron Research Into a 2.5-Cent Clip
The company says findings from living neurons made its image-to-video model five times faster than Wan 2.2. The neurons stay in the lab; a five-second clip costs 2.5 cents.

Before a customer spends 2.5 cents on five seconds of video, The Biological Computing Co. has already run the biological part of Mischief 1's story: the company says it studied living neurons, then translated the findings into a software add-on for Wan 2.2. The model runs on standard AI hardware. No neuron processes a customer's clip.
TBC says those findings make Mischief 1 five times faster than Wan 2.2 at the same quality. The speed and quality figures are the company's claims; The Next Web notes that it has published no independent tests. TBC says the add-on increases the base model's parameter count by less than 0.1%.
The org chart is tidy: cultured neurons contribute to research, silicon takes production, and the meter charges half a cent per second. OpenRouter lists the model at that rate for image-to-video. The cells get credit in the sales pitch without reading a single customer prompt.
