Chinese cybersecurity company 360 unveils “the Chinese version of Mythos” and Yitianzhen to automate cyber defense

At ISC.AI 2026, Chinese company 360 Security Technology unveiled “Yitian Tulong,” two AI models for vulnerability discovery and automated defense.
Founder Zhou Hongyi described Tulongfeng as the “Chinese myth”, saying he had found 3,432 flaws, including 105 confirmed by the government.
Zhou acknowledged a 20 to 30 percent capability gap compared to U.S. models, but insisted on building a professional attack and defense team rather than a one-size-fits-all “genius hacker” approach.

A Chinese cybersecurity company recently unveiled two artificial intelligence (AI) models, one of which is supposed to be the country’s answer to the Anthropic myth.

Mythos is an advanced AI model capable of revealing and exploiting software vulnerabilities at scale. It’s currently only available to a few dozen major U.S. companies, because it’s allegedly too powerful (and therefore dangerous) to share with everyone.

At the ISC.AI 2026 cybersecurity conference, held at the National Convention Center in Beijing on June 24, 2026, Chinese cybersecurity company 360 Security Technology unveiled two tools collectively called “Yitian Tulong”, reports PK Press Club.

Take a different approach

Yitial Tulong includes two AI models: Tulongfeng and Yitianzhen. According to founder Zhou Hongyi, the former is the “Chinese myth”, while the latter is a way to automate defense and incident response.

“This kind of powerful weapon that can change the landscape of cyberattack and defense can only be owned by others,” Zhou was quoted as saying during the presentation.

Claims about the capabilities of these models cannot be independently verified, and in the case of Yitian Tulong, they likely never will be. The company said Tulongfeng discovered 3,432 software vulnerabilities, 105 of which were reportedly confirmed by the Chinese government.

Zhou also spoke of taking a different approach than the United States, a country that relies on “the most powerful model, the most powerful computing power and the most powerful chips.”

“Objectively speaking, domestic models still have a gap of 20 to 30 percent in terms of core capacity,” Zhou said. “China cannot wait until the model’s capabilities have completely caught up before it starts discovering vulnerabilities, because we cannot afford to wait.”

According to Zhou, 360 is building a “professional attack and defense team”, rather than a “simple” genius hacker: “If Mythos is a high-end chip, what we are building is a complete machine that can run stably, work around the clock and make fewer mistakes,” he said. “If the American way is to train a genius hacker, the 360 way is to organize a professional attack and defense team.”
