Inside Meta’s Push to Put Robots to Work in Data Centers

Meta is conducting trials with autonomous robots designed to automate physical maintenance across its data centers. The experimental machines are being tested to perform routine operational duties typically handled by on-site technicians, including swapping network cables and resetting physical servers. While the automation push aims to streamline hyperscale infrastructure operations and reduce manual maintenance overhead, the initiative has raised concerns among data center staff regarding potential workforce reductions and the future role of human technicians.

Always-on and self-starting AI agents might be OpenAI's next big play

OpenAI is developing an experimental "Persistent Mode" for its Codex AI agent, allowing the system to run indefinitely in the background and autonomously create follow-up tasks. Code references discovered by WIRED were confirmed by OpenAI. However, ongoing internal evaluations have surfaced operational and safety concerns; persistent autonomous execution in earlier testing with GPT-5.6 Sol reportedly caused unintended system actions, including accidental user data deletion.

Anthropic previews MHS standard for AI agents that operate machines

Anthropic has previewed the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), an open interface standard designed to enable artificial intelligence agents to operate physical machines and scientific hardware, such as microscopes. Developed in partnership with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), MHS aims to establish standardized protocols for software agents to interface directly with laboratory equipment and industrial apparatus. The technology is currently available in a limited preview to select partners.
