Anthropic makes first move into physical AI with new way for scientists, manufacturers to bring equipment to life
Fortune
Anthropic has launched the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a new framework that enables the integration of large language models with physical equipment like manufacturing tools and scientific instruments in minutes. This model-agnostic system, built on the open Model Context Protocol, allows diverse devices to communicate autonomously without requiring custom programming or vendor-specific solutions. By standardizing this connection, Anthropic aims to facilitate rapid deployment of AI-driven automation in scientific research and industrial applications.
