TBC launches Mischief 1 image-to-video model on fal and OpenRouter
San Francisco startup The Biological Computing Co. released TBC Mischief 1, an image-to-video model built on Alibaba's open video model Wan 2.2. It turns a still image and prompt into a 3- or 5-second clip at 480p or 720p. The model is available on fal and OpenRouter for $0.005 per second of generated video, so a five-second clip costs 2.5 cents. TBC says insights from lab-grown living neurons make the model about five times faster than Wan 2.2 at the same quality, but it has not published independent tests supporting the claim.
The release adds a low-priced image-to-video model to fal and OpenRouter. However, TBC's claimed fivefold speed advantage over Wan 2.2 at the same quality remains unverified.
