Anthropic Opens a Research Preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS): A Shared Specification for AI Agents to Safely Operate Physical Devices

Anthropic has opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared driver specification that lets AI agents discover and safely operate physical devices, reducing instrument integration from weeks or months to hours. Carnegie Mellon went from raw equipment to a finished dose-response curve in eight hours, and QuEra's laser relock improved from 58% to 99.3% across 700 trials. MHS is model-agnostic, reachable over MCP, and enforces safety limits in the driver rather than the prompt.

Anthropic has opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared driver specification that lets AI agents discover and safely operate physical devices. Instrument integration that normally takes weeks or months drops to hours: Carnegie Mellon went from raw equipment to a finished dose-response curve in eight, and QuEra's laser relock improved from 58% to 99.3% across 700 trials. MHS is model-agnostic, reachable over MCP, and enforces safety limits in the driver rather than the prompt.
