About Pinecone
Pinecone widens from vector DB to retrieval app platform with Marketplace and BM25.
Pinecone shipped two structurally significant launches in early May: a public Marketplace for building and operating knowledge apps directly on Pinecone, and full-text BM25 search via a typed document model that unifies dense, sparse, text, and metadata fields. Alongside, the company introduced a $20/mo Builder plan for solo developers and added Frankfurt and Singapore regions.
