Key point
The bank's October internal guidance limits third-party AI coding agents to its engineering staff, excluding traders and bankers who previously used them for client flow monitoring and market modeling.
Details
- Goldman Sachs has restricted access to Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub to its approximately 12,000 engineers, removing access for traders and bankers following a review of productivity and risk concerns.
- The restriction targets third-party agents capable of writing and executing code, while the bank's internal AI assistant remains available firm-wide; strats working across trading and software engineering retain access.
- The move follows an April decision to remove Claude from the internal platform for Hong Kong bankers due to contract terms, and contrasts with Barclays' plan to have half its developers use Claude Code by year-end.
- Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are lead underwriters for Anthropic's IPO, which is expected to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT before the end of November.
