Summary
According to a post on X by @alexksendzovsky, a company spent four years growing brain cells on electrodes to study how they compute, then used those findings to build an image-to-video model called "mischief 1." The company claims the model is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest on fal and OpenRouter, starting at 0.5 cents a second. The post says the neurons never leave the lab and instead inspired software optimizations to a conventional model built on Wan 2.2. The source snippet is truncated, so further details are not available here.

What happened
The company says it spent four years growing brain cells on electrodes to study how they compute and turned those findings into an image-to-video model it claims is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest on fal and OpenRouter, from 0.5 cents a second. Eric Buess explains that the neurons never leave the...
Why it matters
Builders and businesses using image-to-video tools on fal or OpenRouter may care about the claimed speed and per-second pricing, but these are company claims that VQV has not independently checked. The next thing to watch is whether the speedup and pricing hold up in outside testing, and whether the company publishes more detail on the optimizations. The neuron-based research is the unusual angle, but the post suggests the living neurons are not part of the product itself.
