Chinese companies released two new AI models in the past month that have pushed the boundaries of the nation's capabilities for vulnerabilities discovery and caused concerns among some cybersecurity experts.

On June 13, Chinese firm Zhipu AI released an open-weight model, GLM 5.2, that subsequent testing found outperforms Anthropic's Opus and Open AI's GPT-5.5 on some bug-finding benchmarks and costs only $0.17 per vulnerability found. Two weeks later, another firm, 360 Security Technology, released a frontier-model-based security tool, Tulongfeng (aka "Dragon Saber"), that its founder touted as China's version of Mythos, claiming it had already found more than 3,400 vulnerabilities, according to a Reuters report.
