## 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.

## Common questions

### Does Goldman Sachs work with Anthropic or OpenAI?

Both. Anthropic engineers were embedded for six months to co-build Claude agents for trade accounting and client onboarding, Goldman uses Anthropic's Mythos for cyber resilience, and it is a founding partner in Ode with Anthropic. Its GS AI Platform offers OpenAI GPT models, and in May 2026 it invested in OpenAI's DeployCo alongside BBVA.

### What AI patents does Goldman Sachs have?

Google Patents lists four AI patents granted to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC between January and July 2026, on fine-tuning embedding models for retrieval, embedding-free retrieval-augmented generation, a self-healing generative-AI data-query pipeline and enhanced search, plus a March 2026 published application on context injection for AI coding assistants.

### What AI companies has Goldman Sachs invested in?

Disclosed AI investments include Ode with Anthropic (2026), OpenAI's DeployCo (May 2026) and decisioning-software firm Taktile, where Goldman led a $110 million round in June 2026. Evident counted 70 AI venture deals by Goldman since 2019, third among US banks. Goldman holds no stake in Cognition, maker of Devin.

### Does Goldman Sachs fund academic AI research?

Goldman joined the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in November 2024 to help apply AI to biodiversity measurement for nature-based finance; the lab conducted the research with Goldman's sponsorship. Goldman also open-sourced its Legend data platform through FINOS in 2020. It does not run a public AI research lab publishing papers.
