AI Training AI: Reshaping Intelligent Modeling

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Phancy Group Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 6682.HK), a leading Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) company, today announced the launch of PhanthyModel, a powerful new AI tool built specifically for scientists, engineers, and developers.

By enabling AI to train and refine models, PhanthyModel tackles one of the biggest pain points in complex modeling: the long hours and heavy reliance on expert experience. The launch marks a significant step forward in the Company’s push toward “AI autonomous evolution.”

In research and industrial settings, modeling is a critical step for predicting outcomes, simulating experiments, and analyzing data. Traditionally, building a model often takes experts five to six hours or more to complete a single project. With PhanthyModel’s end‑to‑end automation, the same work can now be completed in about 10 minutes.

This innovation represents a fundamental shift in how AI works: moving from a passive assistant to an active collaborator that continuously learns and improves through real-world use. For organizations in scientific research, engineering, manufacturing, and data analysis, PhanthyModel significantly lowers the barriers to advanced modeling, accelerates experimentation and R&D cycles, and helps turn innovative ideas into reality much faster.

The program has brought in local recycling startup The Loops Hong Kong (“The Loops”) as its strategic partner. By leveraging advanced recycling equipment and a well-established processing system, the initiative introduces a breakthrough approach—rinse-free recycling. Customers no longer need to wash out bottles or disassemble components. Instead, they simply hand over used fragrance bottles or skincare cosmetics containers to store staff for collection. The materials are then sent to The Loops’ Hong Kong facilities for processing and ultimately transformed into recycled resources—lowering the barrier to recycling and making participation far more convenient.

Hong Kong’s first rinse-free recycling program

“Green is Eternal” is built on two key advantages: rinse-free and all brands. It greatly simplifies the recycling process—customers do not need to wash away any residue left in the bottles, nor do they need to remove decorative elements from packaging. Eligible glass or plastic bottles can be handed directly to store staff at designated Eternal Beauty locations to complete the recycling process.

The eligible recycling scope includes fragrance bottles, skincare product bottles, home fragrance bottles, and cosmetics packaging from various brands. Excluded from the program are personal care products (such as shampoo and hair-care products, body wash, body-care products, aerosol spray containers, and makeup tools), as well as fragrance bottles with a capacity of less than 10ml.

To encourage widespread public participation, the program features an incentive mechanism: for every eligible fragrance or skincare cosmetics bottle recycled, customers receive an electronic stamp. After collecting 10 electronic stamps, they can redeem them for a shopping voucher.

The program is already up and running at the Group’s eight outlets and offices across Hong Kong. The Group has also provided dedicated environmental recycling training for frontline staff to ensure the recycling process is standardized, efficient, and seamlessly woven into everyday customer service. Throughout the year, the Group will collaborate with a local charity to host recycling facility tours, guiding the public and students through the inner workings of recycling operations—raising environmental awareness and helping cultivate lasting recycling habits.

Beyond recycling: Advancing sustainability at the community level

“Green is Eternal” is more than an environmental recycling initiative—it is a structured sustainability project that blends retail-based education with deep community engagement. According to industry data, packaging is one of the major sources of carbon emissions in the sector. Furthermore, recycling fragrance and makeup bottles poses significant challenges due to the complexity of residual ingredients, which limits the adoption of recycling practices and results in persistently low voluntary recycling rates for these containers.

Drawing on its industry expertise, the Group partners with The Loops to tackle the challenges of traditional recycling through professional technology. The company also works with community organizations to build an educational and awareness platform, bringing employees, community members, and students into recycling facilities for in-depth environmental learning, while encouraging the public to integrate recycling into daily life. The goal is to establish a sustainable corporate model that is both socially responsible and environmentally friendly.

Wendy Lau, Executive Director of Eternal Beauty and Chairperson of its ESG Committee of the Group, commented: “Understanding the core challenge in traditional recycling systems—that customers are required to put in effort to clean bottles—explains why many people give up on participation. We are delighted to work with The Loops, whose advanced recycling system and equipment can effectively address the impact of residual ingredients in fragrances and cosmetics, truly enabling rinse-free recycling. We hope this program motivates more customers to take the initiative in environmental protection and, together with our partners, promotes sustainable development across the fragrance and beauty industry.”

Jorch Wong, Founder of The Loops Hong Kong, added: “This program marks a major milestone for sustainability in the fragrance and beauty industry. In recent years, while the number of recycling programs has increased, recycling fragrance and beauty packaging has remained difficult and cumbersome, leading to persistently low recycling rates for this category. As an industry leader, Eternal Beauty has proactively taken the lead in launching Hong Kong’s first rinse-free recycling program. This not only strengthens consumers’ environmental awareness but also helps the public build long-term recycling habits—an important encouragement for the entire recycling industry and a replicable model for sustainable development.”

As a leader in China’s fragrance industry, the Group fosters sustainable development through four key pillars: Environment, People, Product, and Community, while actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. Following the successful launch of “Green is Eternal” in Hong Kong, the Group aims to expand the program to its distribution points across Mainland China within the year—strengthening environmental collaboration between Hong Kong and Mainland markets, extending the program’s environmental impact, and encouraging the broader industry to move toward sustainability.

Note: The recycling scope does not include personal care products (such as shampoo and hair-care products, body wash, body-care products, aerosol spray containers, and makeup tools), nor fragrance bottles with a capacity of less than 10ml.

The move follows high-level talks involving the Financial Services Agency, the Bank of Japan, national cyber security officials, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group and Japan Exchange Group. The focus is Anthropic’s Mythos, a powerful AI model developed for defensive cyber security work but now regarded by regulators as a potential systemic risk if similar capabilities reach hostile actors.

Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has framed the issue as an urgent challenge for core financial institutions, warning that Japan’s highly connected financial system could face cascading disruption if attackers used AI to identify and exploit weaknesses before institutions could repair them. No breach linked to Mythos has been reported, but officials are pressing banks to examine incident response plans, software exposure, vendor dependencies and market-continuity arrangements.

Japan tightens bank defences over Mythos as regulators confront a new cyber security problem: an AI tool built to strengthen software security may also demonstrate how fast the balance between defenders and attackers is shifting. Anthropic has said its Mythos Preview found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including flaws affecting every major operating system and web browser. The company has placed the model under restricted access through Project Glasswing, an effort to use frontier AI for defensive discovery before equivalent capabilities spread more widely.

Security specialists see the financial sector as particularly exposed because banks rely on layered infrastructure that includes legacy systems, cloud services, trading platforms, third-party vendors and customer-facing applications. A vulnerability in one component may not remain isolated. Settlement systems, payment networks and securities markets depend on trust, synchronised data and rapid processing, leaving little tolerance for prolonged outages or uncertainty.

Japan’s top lenders have spent heavily on cyber resilience after a series of global incidents involving ransomware, software supply-chain attacks and attacks on critical infrastructure. Yet regulators remain concerned that AI-enabled vulnerability discovery could compress the time between flaw identification and exploitation. Traditional patch cycles often take days or weeks, while advanced models may help attackers generate working exploit paths far faster.

The task force is expected to coordinate technical assessments, information sharing and emergency procedures across the financial sector. Officials are also likely to examine how institutions verify third-party software, monitor anomalous activity and isolate critical operations during a cyber event. For exchanges and clearing systems, the priority will be maintaining orderly trading and settlement even if parts of the technology stack come under pressure.

The concern extends beyond Japan. Regulators in Asia, Europe and the United States have been urging banks to review their cyber controls as AI systems become more capable of code analysis, vulnerability chaining and automated exploitation. The issue has moved from a narrow technology debate into the domain of financial stability, because a successful attack on a major bank or exchange could quickly affect liquidity, confidence and cross-border transactions.

Anthropic has presented Mythos as a controlled defensive tool rather than a public product. The company says the model is intended to help responsible institutions find and fix vulnerabilities before they are misused. That defence has not removed policy concerns. The same capability that enables security teams to uncover hidden bugs can also lower the barrier for sophisticated offensive activity if access controls fail or comparable models emerge elsewhere.

Japan’s response reflects a broader shift in cyber regulation. Authorities are moving away from treating cyber security as a compliance checklist and towards stress-testing how institutions would cope with fast-moving, AI-assisted threats. Banks may face pressure to shorten patching timelines, improve software inventories and strengthen board-level oversight of technology risk.

For Japan, the issue also intersects with its ambition to modernise finance while promoting digital innovation. The country is expanding fintech services, digital payments and AI adoption across corporate operations, but regulators are signalling that innovation must be matched by stronger safeguards. Financial institutions are being asked to prepare for a threat environment in which attackers may use tools that can scan, reason and adapt at machine speed.

The immediate test for the task force will be whether it can turn concern into operational readiness. That means clear reporting channels, shared technical indicators, realistic crisis drills and faster coordination between banks, regulators, exchanges and cyber agencies. Japan’s financial authorities are seeking to prevent an AI-driven security breakthrough from becoming a market-disrupting event.
