360 founder Zhou Hongyi told reporters on October 23 that the company’s sovereign AI operating system is already deployed in some government and enterprise organizations Pandaily. The platform bundles compute resources, a large-model suite, an enterprise knowledge base, an agent factory, collaborative tools and security governance, allowing customers to run AI entirely on their own servers.
Zhou framed the move as a response to “rented” AI services, where external providers control models, compute and pricing. He argued that when agents perform core business work, ownership of the data they process and the knowledge they generate determines a company’s strategic assets.
360 did not disclose customer names or deployment counts, and the description remains architectural rather than technical.
