Lutun Technologies announced on July 29 that it will officially sponsor the team "Cold Fusion," which has advanced to the finals of the international hacking competition DEF CON 34 CTF, taking place in Las Vegas on August 6. Cold Fusion achieved the highest score among Korean teams, finishing third overall in the preliminary rounds.
DEF CON, often referred to as the "Olympics of Hacking," is a prestigious global competition that saw participation from 686 teams worldwide this year. After 48 hours of online preliminaries, only the top 12 teams advanced to the finals.
Cold Fusion is composed of security experts from Lutun, major domestic AI and security companies, Korea University, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Kyung Hee University, and Dankook University.
Lutun will support Cold Fusion by providing credits for its "AX LLM Router" product and uniforms for the finals. The AX LLM Router features an API that automatically allocates intelligent models based on user intent and cost-performance priorities, supporting both frontier models and open-source models like kimi-k3 and glm-5.2. The DEF CON finals require teams to attack opposing systems while defending their own, making the efficient use of high-performance AI crucial.
Han Seung-woo, Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Lutun, stated, "As a leading company in AI democratization, we have recognized the importance of security more than any other company and have strengthened our related capabilities. We will continue to make company-wide efforts to enhance our security technology, not only in this competition but also in the future."
