Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has provided a hint about what SHIB community members should expect in July.
In a recent X post, Kusama suggested that July 2025 will not be just another month of the year, but one packed with several AI-driven initiatives. He renamed July as Jul-AI, signaling that the seventh month of the year will be all about artificial intelligence (AI) for Shiba Inu.
Kusama teased that the community will see numerous announcements, releases, and discussions surrounding past developments and the blueprint for the next phase of the ecosystem.
Based on his commentary, it is expected that the team might unveil several AI-related projects or partnerships this month. There is also the likelihood that the ecosystem team might fully integrate Shiba Inu with artificial intelligence, optimizing every project within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Team Working Behind the Scenes
Meanwhile, Kusama shared a short video clip, indicating that the team has been steadily working behind the scenes all year.
“It all started in January, and February came and went. March, April, and May,” the voiceover remarked. Notably, it mentioned how the world stood still for 12 days in June, highlighting the period of war between Israel and Iran.
With June ending, the voiceover emphasized that “It’s time for July… JUL-AI,” signaling the potential roll-out of AI-driven initiatives.

Kusama AI Initiative
In May, Kusama disclosed that he was writing a final paper, which would explore the interplay between AI, Shiba Inu, and the SHY token. He also indicated that the upcoming paper will highlight Shiba Inu’s role in the next phase of technical evolution, which will be driven by artificial intelligence.
The lead developer made the disclosure after pointing out the lack of AI-related discussions on X. According to him, many people are still unaware of AI’s potential. He plans to integrate Shiba Inu with AI early to ensure the project benefits from the next wave of technological evolution.
Kusama’s recent update indicates that he might release the AI paper this month, detailing Shiba Inu’s role in the AI-driven technological evolution. Additionally, the Shiba Inu lead developer might also announce and release other AI-driven initiatives. However, the precise nature of these projects remains under wraps.
