  • US AI developer Anthropic has unveiled a new technology enabling computer programs to control physical devices in labs and factories.
  • The "Model Hardware Standard" interface allows self-acting programs, known as AI agents, to operate equipment like microscopes and robotic arms.
  • Anthropic plans to test the system before making it available as open source.

US artificial intelligence developer Anthropic has introduced a groundbreaking technology designed to automate research and production processes by enabling AI agents to control physical laboratory and factory equipment.

The new interface, named "Model Hardware Standard," allows self-sufficient AI programs to operate devices such as microscopes and robotic arms. This innovation promises to significantly enhance efficiency by enabling continuous, around-the-clock operation.

Anthropic intends to initially test this system internally. Following the testing phase, the company plans to release the technology as open source, making it accessible to a wider community of developers and researchers.

This development marks a significant step towards greater automation in scientific research and industrial manufacturing, potentially accelerating discovery and production cycles.
