360 ZhiNao

360 ZhiNao is Qihoo 360's model line, and the vendor's own product page lays out the whole stack: a chat service with a text-generation API, image abilities that cover text-to-image plus editing (lossless upscaling, object removal, cut-out), a knowledge-base builder that ingests PDF, Word, Excel, PPT, TXT and URLs and is documented as fully compatible with LlamaIndex, and vector embedding and retrieval layered on top — all attributed to a hundred-billion-parameter model pitched across ten capability areas with hundreds of sub-functions. Around it sit 360's consumer surfaces: AI search, a browser with an accelerated AI reading mode, an image product with a model gallery and LoRA training, and a digital-employee line for enterprise document work. The company's tagline is human-centred, safe and trustworthy, which is how a search-and-security business sells an LLM.

Where it loses: the public page stays thin, still framed as a closed beta you sign in to try, with no English product surface, no published price list and no model card a foreign buyer could audit. Where it wins is the combination 360 genuinely owns — an index, a browser and a security business sitting beside the model — which makes retrieval across Chinese web content and enterprise document handling the natural use cases. A buyer must check the open-platform API terms, whether the model you evaluate in the chat is the one the API actually serves, what an enterprise deployment can and cannot see, and how much of this is a marketing portal rather than a shippable product. The honest read: this is a domestic Chinese offering you engage through a contract, not a subscription you compare on a pricing page.
