Two of China’s most prominent AI companies just made a coordinated statement to the world: the gap between Chinese and American cyber-AI is shrinking, and fast. At the ISC.AI 2026 conference in Beijing on June 24, Qihoo 360 founder Zhou Hongyi unveiled an automated vulnerability-hunting suite while Zhipu AI showed off benchmark results putting its latest model within striking distance of Anthropic’s flagship.
Anthropic launched Claude Mythos 5 on June 9, barely two weeks before Beijing’s conference.
What Qihoo 360 actually built
Zhou’s unveiling centered on a suite called “Yitian Tulong,” which contains two main components. Tulongfeng handles automated bug hunting, essentially an AI system that scans codebases for exploitable weaknesses. Yitianzhen covers the defensive side: incident response, threat detection, and remediation.
Qihoo 360 claims Tulongfeng has already flagged 3,432 software vulnerabilities. Of those, 105 have been confirmed by Chinese government sources.
