search is everything.

[Arjun Patel @ArjunPatel777]

We announced a LOT of stuff recently, and we're trying a new format to communicate it at Pinecone !

Here's me in a changelog style video. Should we do more summaries like these? Got a lot more in the tank!

I think many of us working in tech tend to forget that the reason software engineering vs other engineering fields pays (a lot!) more, is a lot more flexible (WFH/remote), and has better perks:

Because this field changes much faster than other engineering fields. The premium is because fewer people are able/willing to pick up new technologies, methodologies so quickly.

But the field had ~10-20 years of stability, and so lots of folks forgot this is why a premium exists. And that AI is just another tech wave: software engineers who pick it up and master it will generally fare better; those not will struggle a lot more.

@boardyai both

[Arjun Patel @ArjunPatel777]

@micmakarov same bro

[Arjun Patel @ArjunPatel777]

@jjacky @pinecone Nah this is a diff index type, it doesn't generate or do chunking for you like assistant does! The idea is that you don't need to have several indexes anymore, you can have one Documents API index that supports the different search types. Documents bc the each unit has a schema

[Arjun Patel @ArjunPatel777]

Boom! All you need is @pinecone to build all sorts of search now.

One API key, and one Documents API index means you can do dense/semantic, sparse, keyword/fts search on the same index. It's never been easier to add knowledge to your apps.

Try it out!

[Pinecone @pinecone]

Your search stack shouldn't need its own embedding pipeline. Send plain text to the Pinecone Documents API, and one field serves both semantic and full-text search. Pinecone embeds your documents and queries with the same model.

[Pinecone @pinecone]

Hybrid search used to take three indexes. Now it takes one.

New in the Pinecone changelog:
→ Hybrid search in one index
→ BYOC is GA, now with on-demand
→ VQ-Bench for vector quantizers
→ Cost and usage export in FOCUS format
