TBC launches Mischief 1, a Wan 2.2-based AI video model
The Biological Computing Company has made Mischief 1 available through fal and OpenRouter, applying a software optimization derived from neuronal measurements to Wan 2.2.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- Mischief 1 is available through fal and OpenRouter.
- TBC prices 480p generation at $0.005 per second.
- Living neurons are used only in the laboratory discovery process, not in the deployed model.
What is changing?
The Biological Computing Company (TBC) launched its image-to-video model Mischief 1 on October 30. The Wan 2.2-based model is available through fal and OpenRouter. The company says 480p generation costs $0.005 per second, putting a five-second clip at $0.025.
According to TBC, Mischief 1 runs five times faster than the base Wan 2.2 model while preserving its quality and adding less than 0.1% more parameters. These speed, quality and cost figures come from the provider’s own announcement; no independent comparison has yet been published.
The phrase “neuron-derived” does not mean living cells are used in deployment. TBC says measurements from living neurons in its lab were used only to discover the optimization, while the customer-facing software runs on standard AI hardware. The practical benefit could be cheaper and faster video iteration, though teams should test temporal consistency and output quality in their own workflows.
