I don't want to be that guy but did they invent bluetooth for ai? Like what is MHS actually? I read it twice and still don't get it
storywatch•42m ago
More like MCP for robotics. IMO they are better off getting the robots to use existing human UIs than trying to get hardware manufacturers to play ball.
tolugenius•40m ago
Oh I see, yeah I guess this assumes manufacturers will just adopt this standard universally. Clears things a bit!

That 2 trillion dollar valuation ain't gonna make itself.
sheauwn•40m ago
It seems more like a basic instruction set, that will then be translated to something actionable for each different device. Seems like most of the work then will be in developing the drivers for whatever devices you want the LLM to access.
ctoth•30m ago
Yes, it turns the hardware driver problem into a translation problem (translate the hardware manual/datasheet into this protocol.)

Guess what's really good/quick at translating things?

tuvix•40m ago
In the context of lab hardware there’s a ton of proprietary software and barriers to automating things. I think this is less about how to communicate, and more guaranteeing that “yes, this piece of hardware can interface with an agent” and is meant to do so. Kind of like using MCP vs letting your agent make raw HTTP requests

Sounds like PyLabRobot:

To actually add something to the discussion though: I guess getting LLMs to control robots is cool, but would potentially have more severe consequences than pure software since it interacts more with the physical world

mips_avatar•24m ago
As far as I can tell is these standards (MCP/MHS/etc) are just semi obvious tool inferfaces that Anthropic uses as training scenarios.
dgellow•12m ago
It’s actually really cool, and not just for AI. That should make it easy to automate some processes with simple scripts.

Nitpick: it’s annoying that they add Model to those acronyms, for what seems like a fairly universal software interface
