Origins of the project

MHS started as a project between Anthropic and HHMI Janelia Research Campus to enable AI to accelerate scientific research. Partners across science, robotics, electronics, and manufacturing are helping develop the standard further, ahead of it becoming open source.

Joining the research preview

MHS is starting as a limited research preview. We're inviting stakeholders across science and industry to test the standard, build safety evaluations, and develop best practices for AI agents operating physical equipment before we open-source it. Access is by application during the preview.
