The Biological Computing Co. (TBC), an applied biological computing company that uses real neurons to improve AI models, announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver the world's first neuron-derived AI video model to market.
Built on an open-source video generation model, TBC’s optimized text-to-video model delivers 80 per cent lower inference costs and 5x faster generation, while improving quality compared to the base model. The model is enhanced by a lightweight, proprietary software layer derived from measurements of living neural activity. The software layer adds less than 0.1 per cent to the underlying model and runs entirely on conventional AI infrastructure. No biological hardware or new customer workflow is required.
“Our partnership with AWS takes neuron-derived AI optimization to commercial scale,” said Alex Ksendzovsky, CEO and co-founder of TBC. “We’re turning discoveries from real neurons into faster, cheaper AI for businesses and creators. More importantly, biology gives us a fundamentally different engine for discovering better optimization strategies over time.”
Under the collaboration, TBC and AWS are working across multiple layers of the AI stack.
"Nature solved the computing efficiency problem billions of years ago. TBC's insight is that we can learn from the original computer—the human brain—to make AI faster, more efficient, and more economical," said Jason Bennett, Vice President and Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital at AWS. "By building on the AWS AI stack and leveraging go-to-market channels like AWS Marketplace, TBC can move from discovery to commercial scale at startup speed. This is exactly the kind of bold, forward-leaning innovation we love to support at AWS."
