According to Bloomberg, OKX has banned its Hong Kong employees and those traveling through China from using Anthropic's Claude after its corporate Claude account was briefly suspended in early August. The corporate account has since been restored. OKX stated that some usage by Hong Kong employees may not have fully complied with Anthropic's regional access policy, so they will restrict Hong Kong employees from using Claude as required and redirect related AI requests to other models. Anthropic's policy currently prohibits the use of Claude in mainland China and Hong Kong. OKX has previously encouraged employees to use AI in their work and has incorporated related capabilities into performance evaluations. The company revealed that its monthly spending on major mainstream AI model providers is approximately $6–8 million. https://(wublock123.com)/news/okx-restricts-hong-kong-staff-from-using-claude-ai-model-cost-6-8m-month-66838
