# Anthropic Previews Model Hardware Standard for Physical AI

> Anthropic has published a research preview of its Model Hardware Standard, a common driver that lets AI agents discover and control physical lab and factory equipment such as microscopes, liquid handlers and robotic arms. The idea is to replace bespoke, weeks long integrations with a standardized set of read and write commands that an agent can use out of the box. In partner testing, Anthropic says the standard cut hardware setup from weeks to hours, and in one striking example lifted the success rate of a quantum computer's laser stabilization routine from 58 percent to 99.3 percent. The design is deliberately model agnostic, and Anthropic plans to open source it so any device maker can adopt it. If it catches on, it could become plumbing for the emerging world of physical AI, where software agents run real experiments and machines rather than just chat, which also raises fresh questions about safety and oversight.
