Anthropic is tightening enforcement after reports that Chinese firms found ways to access its Claude AI models despite a formal ban. Companies including Ant Financial and ByteDance allegedly used overseas subsidiaries, cloud services such as Microsoft Azure, VPNs and account workarounds. The company says it is expanding detection systems and shutting down violating accounts globally.
Anthropic is reportedly tightening its restrictions after identifying multiple methods used by Chinese companies to bypass its ban on access to Claude. Anthropic is moving to shut loopholes that have allowed Chinese companies to circumvent the AI startup's restrictions on accessing its Claude large language models.
The Financial Times found that companies including Ant Financial had accessed Anthropic's Claude AI tools through overseas subsidiaries, cloud providers and other workarounds. These findings point to a pattern where Chinese firms have used indirect routes to keep using Claude despite Anthropic's policy explicitly barring such access.
How Chinese firms reportedly bypassed the restrictions
According to the report, different companies used different tactics to get around the ban. Ant reportedly provided employees with corporate Claude accounts linked to its Singapore based entity, while ByteDance reimbursed engineers for personal Claude subscriptions that they accessed using virtual private networks.
