Pinecone

Pinecone is a managed vector database specialized in storing and searching so-called embeddings, which are numerical representations of text, images or other data. Instead of looking for exact matches, it searches for similarity in meaning.

Such vector databases are an important foundation for modern AI applications, for example for semantic search or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), in which language models are supplied with relevant context data. As a cloud service, Pinecone takes care of operating and scaling the underlying infrastructure.
