Anthropic is opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers.

The Model Hardware Standard (MHS) works with any AI model, not just Claude, but for now only a handful of companies can access the research preview.

The Model Hardware Standard is initially available in a research preview, but Anthropic plans to open source it in the future.
