China Unveils AI-Powered Cybersecurity Tools to Counter US Dominance
Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technology has launched two AI tools to rival Anthropic's Mythos, aiming to close the 20-30% gap between China's top AI models and Western systems. The move is seen as a strategic effort to establish a cyber deterrence capability and prevent the US from holding a monopoly in the field.
360 founder Zhou Hongyi presents two AI security tools designed to compete with Anthropic's Mythos. One has already flagged 3,432 vulnerabilities. Zhou admits Chinese models trail Western ones by 20 to 30 percent, but compares Mythos to "cyber nuclear weapons" and calls for China to build its own strategic deterrent.
