Goldman’s action resulted from the US bank interpreting its contract with Anthropic strictly after consulting with the company and determining that the bank’s employees in Hong Kong shouldn’t be allowed to use any Anthropic products.

The source told Reuters that other popular models like Gemini and ChatGPT were still accessible on the internal platform. Because they were not permitted to speak to the media, they refused to be identified.

Hong Kong has largely escaped these restrictions, while mainland China forbids the use of AI models developed by US companies, such as ChatGPT and Claude, with usage limits imposed by the U.S. A representative for Anthropic told the FT that their Claude models had never been formally “supported” in Hong Kong, but they would not elaborate

The newspaper also stated that contracts with other AI vendors, like OpenAI, were not covered by the ruling. Marco Ar is the chief information officer at Goldman Sachs.
