Qihoo 360 founder Zhou Hongyi announced the unveiling of Tulong Feng, an AI vulnerability agent, at the ISC.AI 2026 conference in Beijing on June 24. Zhou positioned Tulong Feng as China's answer to Anthropic's cybersecurity AI model, Mythos, which has faced U.S. export controls restricting access for Chinese entities.

Zhou described Mythos as 'cyber nuclear weapons' in the AI era, capable of autonomously finding vulnerabilities and constructing attack chains. He criticized the exclusion of Chinese companies from Anthropic's vetted partner program, Glasswing, which includes major tech firms like Microsoft and Apple. According to Zhou's claims, Tulong Feng has identified a cumulative 3,432 vulnerabilities, with 105 confirmed by Chinese regulatory bodies and several flagged as high-severity by the national vulnerability database. He argued that an agent-first approach, coordinating specialized models, can offset any existing gap in frontier base models.

In parallel, Beijing-based Z.ai released its GLM-5.2 model under an MIT license, making it freely accessible and modifiable globally. This release occurred shortly after the U.S. government restricted access to Anthropic's Mythos 5 and Fable 5 for foreign nationals. Evaluations suggest GLM-5.2 outperformed Claude Code on a key vulnerability detection benchmark, with a significantly lower cost per finding. Z.ai co-founder Tang Jie called Anthropic's withdrawal 'deeply regrettable,' while technical lead Qinkai Zheng emphasized the desire for the model to be accessible to everyone.
