OpenRouter lists TBC mischief 1 as a hosted image-to-video route dated October 30. This is a gateway-availability update.

Short clips from a starting image

The listing describes text and image inputs, 480p or 720p output, three- or five-second clips and a 16:9 aspect ratio. A first-frame image can guide the result. The model identifier is tbc/mischief-1; video requests use OpenRouter’s video-generation API rather than a text chat completion.

Check price and routing before integration

At review, the displayed rates are $0.005 per second for 480p and $0.01 per second for 720p. This is paid hosted inference, not a free tier or a release of downloadable weights. The listing says EU in-region routing is unavailable. We have not measured visual quality, generation speed or reliability.
