  • Anthropic introduced the Model Hardware Standard, a framework intended to connect AI agents with programmable devices such as microscopes and robotic arms.
  • Potential uses include drug-discovery experiments and laser calibration for quantum computing, with partners evaluating the system’s safety before a planned open-source release.
  • The framework could support continuous autonomous workflows with limited human involvement, Anthropic said.

Anthropic is developing a system that could let AI agents operate laboratory and manufacturing equipment, moving their role beyond software environments and into physical workflows.

The Model Hardware Standard, or MHS, is designed to connect AI agents with programmable devices including microscopes and robotic arms. The system allows machines and AI agents to communicate over networks when equipment has a programmable interface.

Anthropic said possible applications include running drug-discovery experiments and calibrating lasers used in quantum computing. The Claude developer also said MHS could support autonomous workflows that operate continuously with limited human involvement.

The company is initially sharing the technology with partners for safety evaluation. Anthropic plans to release the framework as open source later.
