Alibaba is prohibiting staff from using Anthropic’s Claude Code tool, directing them toward its own Qoder software instead.Summary
Alibaba has reportedly instructed its employees to stop using Anthropic’s programming tool, Claude Code, effective July 10. The decision follows Anthropic’s ongoing efforts to restrict access to its models by Chinese companies and foreign entities owned by them. While Anthropic previously experimented with tracking measures to prevent unauthorized model distillation and account abuse, Alibaba has officially classified Claude Code as high-risk software, requiring staff to transition to the company’s internal alternative, Qoder.
