    (4 MINUTE READ) [4]=20

    Anthropic has introduced a set of standardized d=
    rivers designed to
    let AI agents easily interface with and control arbitr=
    ary devices. The
    Model Harness Standard is a way for scientists to stream=
    line the
    arduous process of creating custom software integrations needed =
    to get
    disparate components of an experiment working in concert. It provi=
    des
    a common interface and format for data sharing between these devices.=

    The system could reduce weeks or months of exact experimental setup

    Many people have called Nvid=
    ia's AI investments circular financing,
    but the company sees it different=
    ly. Frontier AI labs are growing
    faster than what their balance sheets an=

    Growth can only continue as long as they c=
    an secure ever-greater
    amounts of computing power, which they would have =
    trouble doing on
    their own as they lack the ability to borrow huge sums o=
    f money at
    competitive rates. Nvidia aims to power this flywheel until AI=

    up to 800 grams with its beak, get up wh=

    roller skate. The robot's behaviors can be =
