Goldman Sachs employees in Hong Kong no longer have access to Anthropic's Claude, the AI coding assistant. The restriction affects the bank's development workflows in the region.

Goldman Sachs staff in Hong Kong have been cut off from Anthropic's Claude, according to sources familiar with the matter. Claude is an AI agent designed to accelerate software development by automating code writing tasks. The access restriction impacts the bank's Hong Kong operations, though the reason for the removal remains unclear. It's unknown whether the limitation applies solely to the Hong Kong office or extends to other Goldman locations. The move raises questions about AI tool availability in different geographic regions and potential regulatory considerations. Goldman Sachs has been actively integrating AI tools across its operations to boost productivity and reduce development time. Anthropichas not publicly commented on the access restriction. Goldman Sachs declined to provide additional details on the matter.
