From Real Brain Cells on Electrodes to 3.78M Views: How 'Mischief 1' Was Distilled
Released by Alex Ksendzovsky and The Biological Computing Co. on fal and OpenRouter, Mischief 1 is an ultra-fast image-to-video model distilled from four years of research growing real brain cells on electrode arrays.
Five Seconds of Video for $0.025: Running 5x Faster on fal.ai and OpenRouter
Priced from just $0.005 per second of generated video (around $0.025 for a 5-second clip), it runs at least 5x faster than its base architecture, making batch video prototyping affordable.
Using Mischief 1 for Rapid Camera-Motion Storyboarding Before High-Res Renders
Use Mischief 1 on fal.ai to rapidly iterate camera motion and subject blocking at $0.025 per clip before rendering final high-res shots.
