Intro

Mischief-1 (Mischief 1, OpenRouter id tbc/mischief-1) is a video generation model from The Biological Computing Co. (TBC). OpenRouter lists it as the world's first neuron-derived video model, supporting image-to-video for ideation, previz, moodboarding and variant testing. The public OpenRouter Video listing and sitemap path appeared in the 2026-10-30 scan window (canonical slug tbc/mischief-1-20261023); TBC had teased neuron-derived video / AWS early access earlier in autumn 2026.

Model: openrouter.ai/tbc/mischief-1 · Provider: openrouter.ai/tbc · X: @BioComputingCo

Explain

Key points

  1. Named product on OpenRouter Video: not a text LLM—served via OpenRouter's async POST /api/v1/videos path as tbc/mischief-1.
  2. Claimed differentiation: TBC records living-neuron activity and turns those patterns into software; marketing calls Mischief 1 the first neuron-derived video model (faster/cheaper on silicon).
  3. Capabilities (OR catalog): durations 3 or 5s; resolutions 480p / 720p; size 854×480 or 1280×720; aspect 16:9; first-frame image conditioning; seed supported; no audio generation flag.
  4. Pricing SKUs: about 0.5¢/s at 480p and 1¢/s at 720p (listed from ~$0.005/second).
  5. Traction this window: new sitemap URLs on openrouter.ai + respan-adjacent model catalogs; verified @BioComputingCo answering generation requests live.

Why it matters

Distinctive proper noun (Mischief-1) with a clear vendor (TBC) and public API surface the same day the radar sitemap diff lit up—easy to search and compare against Hailuo / Kling / Seedance class video models.

Usage

How to try it

  1. Open openrouter.ai/tbc/mischief-1 or list models via GET https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/videos/models.
  2. Create an OpenRouter API key, then POST /api/v1/videos with model: "tbc/mischief-1", a prompt (and optional first-frame image), then poll the job until completed and download the video.
  3. Follow demos / reply threads from @BioComputingCo for prompt examples.

Best for cheap short ideation clips; check OR uptime/provider page before production volume.
