China's Qihoo 360 Launches AI Models to Compete with US Cybersecurity Tools Qihoo 360 has introduced two AI models, Yitian Tulong, aimed at vulnerability discovery and automated defense, presented by CEO Zhou Hongyi at the ISC.AI 2026 conference. The Tulongfeng model identified 3,432 software flaws, with 105 confirmed by the Chinese government. Despite acknowledging a 20-30% capability gap compared to US models, Zhou emphasized the importance of a professional attack-and-defense team over a single advanced AI. The new models are designed to rival American tools, particularly Anthropic's Mythos, to enhance China's cybersecurity capabilities. The initiative reflects a strategic move for national deterrence amidst growing cybersecurity competition between China and the US. 4 sources 58
