China’s 360 says it has developed tools to match Anthropic’s Mythos

Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technology has developed what it calls a domestic answer to Anthropic’s Mythos, it said on Wednesday, casting the US model as a strategic cyber capability that China could not afford to lack.

Mythos, previewed in April, is a system that detects software vulnerabilities, but cybersecurity experts have warned that it could supercharge cyberattacks. The US this month ordered Anthropic to suspend exports of a less powerful version of the programme, citing national security concerns.
