Mythos is an advanced AI model that can surface and exploit software vulnerabilities at scale and is currently only available to a couple dozen major US firms because it is allegedly too powerful (and thus dangerous) to
be shared with everyone. During the ISC.AI 2026 cybersecurity conference, which was held at the Beijing National Convention Center on June 24, 2026, Chinese cybersecurity company 360 Security Technology unveiled two tools collectively called Yitian Tulong, Reuters reports.

According to founder Zhou Hongyi, the former is the Chinese Mythos, while the latter is a way to automate defense and incident response.

"This kind of powerful weapon that can change the landscape of cyber offence and defense cannot be held only by others," Zhou allegedly said during the presentation. You may like OpenAI reveals its Mythos rival designed for cybersecurity pros Claude Mythos turns years of security research into

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

Zhou also discussed taking a different approach compared to the US - a
country which relies on the strongest model, the strongest computing power, and the strongest chips. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up

"Objectively speaking, domestic models still have a 20%-30% gap in base capability," Zhou said. "China cannot wait until model capabilities have
fully caught up before starting vulnerability discovery, because we cannot afford to wait."

According to Zhou, 360 is building a professional attack-and-defense team, rather than just a single genius hacker: "If Mythos is a top-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 U.S. route is to cultivate a genius hacker, 360's route is to organise a professional attack-and-defense team."
