Bankers working for JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong must have been miffed when they were shut off from using artificial intelligence (AI) models from Anthropic, a pioneering American firm in the field.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase pulled the plug in April and last week respectively, based on a strict interpretation of Anthropic\u2019s terms of use, which reflect Washington\u2019s stringent restrictions on China\u2019s access to frontier American AI models.<\/p>\n

The banks\u2019 decisions are seen as a potential blow to the competitiveness of the city\u2019s financial sector. In a report, the Financial Times warned that, \u201cPreventing access to the world\u2019s most advanced AI models represents a threat to Hong Kong\u2019s revival as an international financial centre, given their rapid adoption in other parts of the world, particularly for coding.\u201d<\/p>\n

A US Commerce Department directive this month means all foreigners are to be denied access<\/a> to Anthropic\u2019s most advanced Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, including Anthropic\u2019s own foreign employees.<\/p>\n

The export control directive gave Anthropic just 90 minutes to shut off access, citing national security concerns.<\/p>\n

As events unfold, China\u2019s AI industry may emerge as the real winner. If foreigners can\u2019t use America\u2019s most advanced AI models, most will just switch to the \u201cgood enough\u201d ones developed by Chinese firms, which charge a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bankers working for JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong must have been miffed when they were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[24,2477,53,934,387,6010,700,4395,2700,2752,930,5013,16336,214,11846],"class_list":["post-83675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anthropic","tag-ai","tag-alibaba","tag-anthropic","tag-artificial-analysis","tag-china","tag-deepseek","tag-europe","tag-financial-times","tag-hong-kong","tag-jpmorgan-chase","tag-minimax","tag-openrouter","tag-tencent","tag-united-states","tag-xiaomi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
