Anthropic ScanImage research preview

We're adding native support for the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) in ScanImage as part of the MHS research preview. MHS is a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing. During the preview, we're testing how MHS-compatible agents operate ScanImage within device-declared safety bounds.   Why we’re doing this A two-photon experiment often involves several components: a microscope, behavioral hardware for stimulus and reward delivery, video systems, and other devices. Running a successful...
