Anthropic introduced MHS, a new standard to help AI like Claude operate robots and lab equipment.
The research preview targets developers in science, robotics, and manufacturing.
A Barclays report sees this field becoming a trillion-dollar market by 2035.
What happened
Anthropic announced a new software standard, the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), to help AI assistants like Claude work with robots and science and manufacturing hardware. It is being released as a research preview.
Why it matters
MHS could grow into a trillion-dollar market for AI-powered robots and autonomous machines by 2035, according to a Barclays report. It helps AI understand hardware without needing paper manuals or expert-only knowledge.
What to watch
Developers in scientific, robotics, and manufacturing fields can test how Claude interacts with the physical world and build safety measures before the standard is broadly released.

Anthropic's MHS arrives as a practical step toward integrating AI with physical systems, a key challenge beyond software. By standardizing how hardware information is stored, it could reduce reliance on specialized expertise. The move comes amid forecasts from Barclays that AI-powered robots could form a trillion-dollar market by 2035, suggesting high commercial stakes. The research preview phase signals a cautious approach, allowing safety measures to be tested before wider adoption. For businesses, this may ease the path to automating complex physical tasks, though broad impact remains to be seen.
