This feels bigger than it looks.
Anthropic basically built MCP for the physical world. AI agents can now control lab equipment, robots and real experiments through one standard interface.
At QuEra, an agent improved a laser recovery system from 58% to 99.3% success.
We’re getting dangerously close to AI that doesn’t just reason about science, but actually runs the experiments itself.
Anthropic (@AnthropicAI): Today, we’re kicking off the first phase of the research preview for Model Hardware Standard (MHS): a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing.
