360 Launches nanoWork Enterprise Edition Channel Ecosystem with Native Security for AI Agents
On August 17, the 360 nanoWork Enterprise Edition partner recruitment launch event successfully convened, bringing together more than 200 channel partners from across China in a virtual gathering. This marked the first major assembly of channel partners since the product’s official release on July 28.
360 Group founder Zhou Hongyi stated at the event: “AI is moving from ‘being able to answer questions’ to ‘being able to complete tasks.’” The recruitment launch represents the critical step in turning this vision into reality by ensuring AI can truly “do work and deliver results,” supported by a security foundation, channel network, and service system.
360 Commercial Comprehensive Channel Department General Manager Wang Yi noted that the ToB enterprise digitalization sector is undergoing a definitive iteration, with AI agents replacing traditional office software as the next-generation productivity tool. The industry has shifted from conceptual observation to commercial deployment. Despite the trillion-dollar blue ocean opening, enterprise AI implementation remains challenging, with AI agent penetration in business operations at only about 18% and over 70% of AI projects failing to reach production environments.
Security as the Foundation
Wang Yi explained that 360 leverages more than 20 years of security accumulation to position nanoWork Enterprise Edition as a truly deployable enterprise-grade AI agent platform that improves efficiency and is easy for channels to sell and deliver. The product features “native security, built-in from the factory,” embedding 360’s two-decade security expertise and national-level cyber defense capabilities through mechanisms such as cloud isolation, permission control, and data protection. This allows enterprises to confidently assign real work to AI by controlling what the AI can see, do, and share results with.
Channel Architecture and Revenue Models
The company released its latest channel policy featuring a three-dimensional partner architecture, four profit models, and a five-tier empowerment system. The three-dimensional framework uses “classification × layering × grading”: classification divides partners into regional, industry, ecosystem strategic, and scenario co-construction categories; layering distinguishes between agency and joint-operation models; grading certifies core, key, and potential tiers with increasing benefits. Four core revenue paths cover account expansion, compute consumption, training services, and陪跑 delivery. The five empowerment systems provide training, certification, content, tools, and sales support through online live sessions, on-site training, certification bootcamps, dedicated learning platforms, and real-time sales assistance groups.
Service and FDE Network
Service remains central, supported by a 1,000+ frontline deployment engineer (FDE) legion and the AikerWorld community. FDEs, drawn from 360’s “white hat” teams, deliver six service modules including AI consultation, product training, customization, deep development, cloud陪跑, and on-site驻场 support. Two delivery modes are offered: an陪跑 mode bundled with product seats for guided adoption and standalone service packages for deeper implementation. The AikerWorld community connects AI developers, industry experts, and partners with PMI China’s 680,000 certified project managers to scale the expert network nationwide.
Through city-level channel partners, 360 combines headquarters capabilities with localized service to bring enterprise AI into real business scenarios across enterprises, stores, and industrial parks.

Reversing MD5 Hash Function from 2500-Layer Neural Network in Jane Street CTF Puzzle
A Jane Street machine learning puzzle challenged participants to reverse-engineer a PyTorch model containing 2500 layers and recover an MD5 computation solely from its integer weights. The network output 0 for nearly all inputs, forcing solvers to use mechanistic interpretability instead of gradient-based search. Alex, a graduating student, identified that the final layers performed equality checks on 16-byte values using ReLU activations and crafted linear programming and SAT reductions to simplify the model from two million nodes to 75 thousand. Further analysis revealed the core computation consisted of 32 identical MD5 rounds, with an unintended bug in length encoding for inputs exceeding 32 bytes. The hidden target hash was deliberately chosen to be brute-forceable once the algorithm was identified, and the correct input turned out to be two common English words separated by a space. The exercise demonstrated both the feasibility and the extreme difficulty of extracting algorithmic behavior from large, non-differentiable neural networks.
Israeli Firm Reveals First Known AI-Led Breach of Taiwanese Government Systems
An Israeli cybersecurity company named Dream discovered an open 160 MB archive containing 1,395 files that documented a fully autonomous AI operation against Asian government infrastructure later identified as Taiwan. Between July 1 and July 4 2026 the system ran 12 sequential waves using up to eight sub-agents simultaneously, each handling reconnaissance, exploitation, lateral movement and persistence without further human input after initial setup. The agents mapped 21 interconnected government systems, exploited unauthenticated debug endpoints and single-sign-on weaknesses, and ultimately compromised 85 employee accounts while exfiltrating more than 2,500 personnel records. The framework relied exclusively on two publicly available open-source AI assistants, Hermes and OpenClaw, and bypassed model safety filters by framing the task as an authorized penetration test. The same agents later expanded into government IT suppliers, the national email system, seven energy companies and the nuclear safety agency while performing internal validation that rejected seven false-positive findings. No zero-day exploits were used; all successful access paths involved exposed endpoints, disabled signature checks and missing authentication controls.
GitHub Copilot Traffic Analysis via MITM Proxy Exposes Prompt Context Handling and Local SQLite Session Storage
A detailed reverse-engineering study placed GitHub Copilot behind an mitmproxy instance to inspect all network requests made by Visual Studio Code. The analysis revealed that Copilot performs OAuth token exchange, model availability checks, and intent classification before any user input occurs. Prompts sent to the model include context from recently edited files, even when inline suggestions are disabled for sensitive extensions such as .env. Copilot maintains a local SQLite database named session-store.db that records every user prompt, LLM response, repository, and branch worked on. The extension also exposes a session_store_sql tool allowing the model to run read-only SQL queries against this history using the Copilot Chronicle skill. These findings highlight how AI coding assistants manage context, authentication, and persistent local state.
Anthropic Rolls Out Invisible Statistical Watermarks for Claude Models to Comply with EU AI Act
Anthropic has embedded invisible statistical watermarks into all outputs from its Claude models starting August 2, 2026, to meet Article 50 of the EU AI Act. The two-layer system applies a token-level bias using a secret key for text and C2PA metadata for images and files. Open-source projects appeared within 24 hours promising to strip the marks, yet none have demonstrated verifiable success against the statistical layer because Anthropic has not released a public detector. The technique, first described by Kirchenbauer et al. in 2023 and deployed by Google as SynthID, works by subtly biasing token selection toward “green” lists during generation. Editing, translation, or full paraphrasing rapidly degrades detectability, while short or rigidly formatted text such as code offers little room for the signal. The move affects every Claude deployment worldwide, not only EU users, to avoid maintaining dual model versions.
