JPMorgan Restricts Hong Kong Staff's Access To Anthropic's AI Models Amid US National Security Crackdown:

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

(NYSE:JPM) reportedly cut off Hong Kong employees' access to Anthropic's AI models, facing pressure from both Washington and Anthropic itself.

The wording of Anthropic's usage terms in its licensing agreement with JPMorgan prompted the bank to remove Claude models from an internal drop-down list of approved large language models available to staff in the Asian financial hub, according to a report by the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the matter.

JPMorgan did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s request for comment.

White House Security Concerns Triggered The Shutdown The White House, citing national security concerns, blocked all foreign nationals from using Anthropic's most advanced models.
