The AI coding access your company gives you could be revoked without warning a few months later: Goldman Sachs just took Claude Code away from its traders
Bloomberg saw internal guidance updated in October
Anthropic’s Claude Code and Microsoft’s GitHub are now basically reserved for engineers
Traders and bankers had been using them for months
Some were already using them to monitor client trading flows and simulate positions; now they can’t
Only strats roles, which involve both trading and coding, are unaffected
In July, CIO Marco Argenti had publicly said that nontechnical colleagues could use AI to whip up prototypes, then hand them off to around 12,000 engineers to refine
Non-engineers now have to switch to other tools or use the firm’s own assistant
