Previewing the Model Hardware Standard
Article image or reusable cover for Anthropic
Anthropic introduces Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared standard that enables AI agents to safely control physical laboratory and manufacturing equipment.
MHS simplifies the connection of instruments such as microscopes, liquid handlers, and robotic arms — which typically takes weeks or months, but now takes only hours or minutes. The standard allows AI systems to control multiple devices in parallel, adjust settings in real time, and sometimes recover from errors without human intervention.
MHS reduces this integration work to hours or minutes.
