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

At ISC.AI 2026, China’s 360 Security Technology introduced “Yitian Tulong”, two AI models for vulnerability discovery and automated defense.
Founder Zhou Hongyi described Tulongfeng as the “Chinese myth,” claiming that he found 3,432 flaws, 105 of which were confirmed by the government.
Zhou acknowledged a 20-30% capability gap compared to American models, but stressed creating a professional attack and defense team rather than relying on a single “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 Myths.

Mythos is an advanced AI model that can discover and exploit software vulnerabilities at scale, and it’s currently only available to a couple dozen large US companies because it’s supposedly too powerful (and therefore dangerous) to share with everyone.

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

Taking a different approach

Yitial Tulong comprises 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 cyber defense and defense cannot be held only by others,” Zhou reportedly said during the presentation.

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

Zhou also talked about 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 20% to 30% gap in base capacity,” Zhou said. “China cannot wait until the model’s capabilities have caught up before starting to uncover vulnerabilities, because we cannot afford to wait.”

According to Zhou, 360 is building a “professional attack and defense team,” rather than “just” a genius hacker: “If Mythos is a high-end chip, what we are building is a complete machine that can run stably, work 24 hours a day, and make fewer mistakes,” he said. “If the US route is to cultivate a genius hacker, the 360 route is to organize a professional attack and defense team.”
