The Hidden Inefficiency of JSON vs the TOON Revolution

In traditional software development, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the undisputed king. It’s readable, structured, and universal. But here’s the uncomfortable truth nobody told you when you started building with AI: LLMs don’t care about the “purity” of your data structure; they care about tokens. If you’re still sending and receiving large JSON blocks to… <a class="more-link" href="https://www.codemotion.com/magazine/dev-life/read-a-book-day-the-evolution-of-books-from-the-invention-of-printing-to-the-use-of-ai/">Read more</a>

Federated Learning: Training Models Without Moving the Data

By Codemotion
For most of the last decade, the ML playbook was simple: collect data, ship it to a central server, train, deploy. It worked, but it came with baggage — transfer costs, latency, and a compliance headache every time “personal data” and “cloud” showed up in the same sentence. Federated Learning (FL) flips the pipeline. Instead… Read more

DwarfStar: the dwarf star illuminating local frontier AI

By Dario Ferrero
*There is a scene in William Gibson’s novel *Neuromancer* where the protagonist connects directly to an immense intelligence, distributed over inaccessible servers, through a connection he does not control and does not own. It was science fiction in 1984. In 2026, it is, more or less, the daily reality for anyone using ChatGPT, Claude, or… Read more

LLMs in Gaming: Mapping the Present

By Codemotion
From NPCs that never forget to autonomous playtesting—where Large Language Models actually stand in gaming today, and where they’re still more promise than reality. Over the past two years, the very meaning of “game AI” has shifted. For decades, it meant pathfinding and behavior trees. Today, it includes language models influencing writing, testing, and even… Read more

HTTP QUERY: the method that was missing between GET and POST

By Matteo Baccan
For nearly thirty years, the Web has lived with a semantic paradox that anyone developing for the backend knows well: how do you execute a complex, voluminous query, or one containing sensitive data, if the only “safe” method available does not allow a request body? Think about when we need to send a structured search… Read more

Setting Up MCP Servers: What, Why and How

By Dipti Parmar
As artificial intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, AI agents are no longer isolated entities answering isolated queries. Instead, they act as orchestrators in complex ecosystems, communicating with other tools, accessing multiple data sources, collaborating within multi-agent systems, and performing actions based on data-informed reasoning. At the heart of this transformation lies the Model Context Protocol… Read more

De Crescenzo’s choice

By Matteo Baccan
Recently I came across this passage from Luciano De Crescenzo’s book “Order and Disorder”, which recounts a pivotal moment in his life, when he decided to leave his job as a software engineer at IBM to dedicate himself to writing. This passage made me think: it was 1978, an era in which professional stability was… Read more

Digital Sovereignty, Kubernetes, and Agentic DevOps: Why the Future of European Cloud Is Becoming Operational

By Codemotion
For years, “digital sovereignty” felt like a term destined to live in conference panels, EU policy documents, and LinkedIn posts written entirely in capital letters, vague enough to mean everything and nothing at once. Then something shifted. Italian and European organizations began to feel the problem in very concrete terms: cloud costs spiraling out of… Read more
