Alibaba has completely banned Claude, employees are required to uninstall Claude Code and other Anthropic products

According to Dynamic Beating monitoring, Alibaba issued an internal notice today, announcing a comprehensive cessation of the use of Anthropic-related products. Employees are required to uninstall models such as Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, Claude Code, and Agent tool. The ban is expected to take effect on July 10th.

Since the beginning of this year, Alibaba has been encouraging employees to use AI, providing not only internal model usage quotas free of charge but also reimbursing expenses for external models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, among others. Many developers have been actively using a combination of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Alibaba's self-developed Qoder. This ban signifies Claude's exit from Alibaba's internal development toolchain.

This adjustment is related to Anthropic's recent tightening of risk control for Chinese users. In June of this year, Anthropic submitted materials to the U.S. Senate, accusing Alibaba of engaging in high-frequency interactions with Claude through numerous accounts, labeling it as an "industrial-grade model distillation attack." Subsequently, the relationship between the two parties has continued to deteriorate, leading to a recent wave of Chinese user account bans.
