Truly Wild stuff: a lab grew living brain cells, studied how they think, and shipped what it learned as an API you can call today.

TBC mischief 1 is that API: findings from neurons on electrodes, applied to an existing image-to-video model (Wan 2.2) .

mischief 1 applies a layer of this kind to Wan 2.2, adding less than 0.1% to its parameters, and the company claims it matches Wan 2.2’s quality at 5x the speed.

@BioComputingCo grows living human brain cells on chips with about 4,000 electrodes, where the neurons form their own networks, receive images as electrical stimulation, and their responses are decoded to improve AI models.

The path from dish to endpoint:

Grow neurons on electrodes
Measure how they process information
Take an existing open-weight video model and change it based on those observations
Ship the model, with no cells inside
