The Biological Computing Co. partners with AWS to sell neuron-derived AI video model

San Francisco startup The Biological Computing Co., which grows living neurons to improve AI models, has partnered with AWS to commercialize its first neuron-derived text-to-video model. The company claims it generates video five times faster and at 80% lower inference cost than the unnamed open-source base model, though no benchmarks were published. The neurons stay in the lab, with their effect distilled into a software layer adding under 0.1% to the model.

• TBC will offer its neuron-derived video model via AWS Marketplace and SageMaker AI
• Company claims 5x faster generation and 80% lower inference cost
• Neurons stay in the lab; software layer adds less than 0.1% to the model
• Model will run on Amazon Trainium chips and standard GPUs
