Goldman Sachs restricts Claude Code from most traders and bankers
Original title: Goldman Sachs Is Pulling Claude Code from Its Bankers and Traders
Internal October guidance limits Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft GitHub to engineers only after productivity and risk review.
Goldman Sachs restricted access to third-party AI coding agents including Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub for most employees following a review of productivity and risk concerns. The change limits these tools to the bank's engineers while strats across trading, quantitative research and software engineering retain access. The restriction is based on role rather than location, differing from the April 2025 ban on Claude for Hong Kong bankers. Goldman remains a lead underwriter on Anthropic's IPO and continues collaborating with Anthropic on back-office AI agents.
Unconfirmed: Bloomberg News reported the change; exact motivations cited include productivity and risk concerns.

Goldman Sachs has restricted Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub to its engineers, cutting off traders and bankers who used the tools to track client flows and build market models. The bank barred its Hong Kong bankers from Claude in April and is now a lead underwriter on Anthropic's IPO. Most traders and bankers at Goldman Sachs can no longer use AI coding tools at work.
