What AI research, patents and partnerships does Goldman Sachs have?
Goldman Sachs works with several AI labs at once. Its GS AI Platform offers staff current OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude models (with Meta Llama in 2024); Cognition's Devin works as an autonomous coder; and for six months to February 2026 Anthropic engineers were embedded to co-build Claude agents for trade accounting and client onboarding. It also invests in the AI services layer: a founding consortium member of Ode with Anthropic (with Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman, May-July 2026), an investor in OpenAI's DeployCo (May 2026), lead of a $110 million round in Taktile (June 2026), and one of six NVIDIA compute-financing partners (August 2026); Evident counts 70 AI venture deals since 2019. Its patents, assigned to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, cluster on retrieval and coding: four granted in January-July 2026 (embedding fine-tuning, embedding-free RAG, a self-healing data-query pipeline, enhanced search) and a published application on context injection for coding assistants. On research, Goldman joined the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in November 2024, open-sourced its Legend data platform through FINOS, and Goldman Sachs Research publishes forecasts such as $1 trillion of global AI investment in 2026.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
