Background & analysis
According to a report from Fast Company on 2026-11-05, citing Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs has banned traders, bankers, and other non-engineering staff from using advanced AI coding tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub, citing risk and productivity concerns. Access to these tools is now limited to engineers and so-called "strats," an investment banking term for staff specialising in quantitative engineering and analytics. The move reportedly frustrated some traders, who had been relying on the tools to monitor data, build financial models, and get work done. This is the only report available so far, so the situation currently stands at the point where access restrictions have been imposed and frustration among affected staff has surfaced, with no further developments reported yet.
