ByteDance and Tencent have removed the Claude model from their AI programming tools, Trae and others, following Anthropic's tightened terms of service. Emails shared by users on social media reveal that ByteDance's Trae announced the discontinuation of Claude model access due to service adjustments. Despite this change, ByteDance assures users that alternative models like GPT-5 and Gemini-2.5-Pro, along with TRAE's optimizations, will maintain high product performance. Tencent has also reportedly made similar adjustments, although specific details were not disclosed. The move reflects a broader trend of AI tool providers adapting to evolving service agreements and model availability.
