SummaryAnthropic opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification letting AI agents operate lab and manufacturing instruments such as microscopes, liquid handlers, and robotic arms in parallel. Co-developed with HHMI Janelia, MHS is model-agnostic, works with any device exposing a programmable interface, and uses protocols like MCP.
Why it mattersFirst-party detail on a new agent-to-hardware standard with named collaborators, MCP grounding, and a live preview program rather than vague vision.
