AI Agents Leave the Screen: Anthropic’s Model Hardware Standard Puts Claude in Charge of Quantum Computers and Robot Arms
Anthropic has launched a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a framework defining how AI agents should operate physical hardware such as microscopes, quantum computers, and robot arms. Quantum computing firm QuEra already used Claude to automate a key quantum subsystem. The loop of automated scientific discovery is closing — but physical-world risks are rising too.
