A namespace alias is a stable, repointable name that points at a namespace. Your application reads through the alias, and you can swap the data it reads by atomically repointing the alias to a different namespace in the same index, with no redeploy. Manage aliases through the REST API on version 2026-07 or later.
Released v7.0.0 of the Pinecone Go SDK. This version uses the latest stable API version, 2026-07, and adds support for schema-based document indexes and the Documents API, which brings full-text search to the Go SDK. The v6 release line continues to target 2026-04.
Google has deprecated the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, and OpenAI has deprecated o4-mini. Pinecone Assistant automatically routes all chat requests that specify gemini-2.5-pro to Gemini 3.5 Flash, and all chat requests that specify o4-mini to GPT-5, at the same price. No code changes are required.
Migrating a pod-based index to serverless now supports indexes with up to 500 million records, up from 50 million. If you need to migrate a larger index, contact Support before you start.
The Enterprise limit for namespaces per serverless index is now 1,000,000. Pinecone can accommodate more for specific use cases. Contact Support to request a higher limit.
Full-text search is now generally available on API version 2026-07, built on the new Documents API. Create schema-based document indexes that combine full-text (BM25), dense-vector, and sparse-vector ranking fields in a single index. Query them with BM25 token matching, Lucene query syntax, or vector similarity, narrowed by metadata and text-match filters.
New Standard and Enterprise subscriptions no longer receive the one-time \$250 bulk import credit (1 TB). Imports from object storage are billed at the standard \$0.25/GB rate. Credits already granted stay usable until they expire, 60 days after they were granted. The last balances expire by November 1, 2026. For details, see Understanding cost.
BYOC deployments run FoundationDB inside your Kubernetes cluster to store cluster metadata, with no managed database to operate.
