360 launches two AI security tools to find and fix bugs, Zhou Hongyi says China needs its own defense system

Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, announced two major AI security tools at the ISC.AI 2026 conference in Beijing. One is called "Tulongfeng," which can automatically find bugs in software. The other is "Yitianzhen," a system that defends networks automatically. This is China's answer to Anthropic's Mythos model, which the US company recently stopped sharing with other countries.

Zhou said Mythos can find hidden bugs in code within 24 hours, even ones that have been there for decades. It costs only about 1,000 dollars to find a serious bug, making attacks much cheaper and faster. US cybersecurity stocks dropped sharply after Mythos was revealed.

He warned that without its own bug-finding abilities, China could fall behind in cybersecurity. 360's Tulongfeng has already found over 3,400 bugs in open-source code and operating systems. Yitianzhen helps companies move from manual security checks to automated defense.

360 also launched a security alliance with chip and software makers like Phytium and Kylin, aiming to build a defense system that uses computing power to fight computing power.
