Claude’s AI for Science program expands to 20 foundations and institutions

The AI for Science program is expanding its partnership network to 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups, providing free Claude credits to researchers and institutional teams; partners include the NSF, Simons Foundation, Sloan Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, HHMI Janelia, and the Allen Institute. The program aims to scale from supporting individual scientists to enabling institutional projects that produce public goods—open datasets, software, standards (e.g., the Model Hardware Standard in research preview), and shared libraries—to accelerate scientific research across multiple fields.

Anthropic launches a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) for AI control of lab and factory equipment

Anthropic, in collaboration with HHMI Janelia Research Campus, has opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification that standardizes drivers, discovery, and control primitives so AI agents can operate multiple lab and manufacturing devices (microscopes, liquid handlers, robotic arms, etc.). The preview—shared with select scientific labs and advanced manufacturers—is model-agnostic, works with protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and aims to reduce bespoke integration time from weeks/months to hours/minutes while enabling autonomous orchestration and safety evaluations ahead of a wider open-source release.
