Version targeting for Cortex Agent and Cortex Analyst evaluations (General availability)
Cortex Agent and Cortex Analyst evaluations now let you control the versioned configuration used for scoring: Version targeting pins the configuration under evaluation, not the agent behavior that gets evaluated: each run invokes the agent again and scores a newly generated trace.
CoCo automations in CLI and Snowsight (Preview)
CoCo automations in the CoCo CLI and CoCo in Snowsight are now available in public preview. Automations let you schedule recurring, unattended CoCo runs that execute in a Snowflake-managed sandbox. Each run creates a Cortex thread that you can inspect and continue in CoCo. Automations created from one surface can be monitored and managed from the other.
Upcoming end of life for the Supervisor API
The Supervisor API (Beta) reaches end of life on September 30, 2026. After that date, the API is no longer available. Databricks recommends migrating to custom agents on Databricks Apps . See Supervisor API (Beta) (deprecated) .
Consumer access to query Unity Gateway services will become generally available
Querying Unity Gateway model services and model provider services with Consumer access is currently opt-in through the Consumer access to Unity Gateway Public Preview . When this capability becomes generally available, consumer access users will be able to query these services without the preview enabled.
Monitor all AI activity with the unified trace table (Beta)
The unified trace table is in Beta . It captures every request and response across your Unity Gateway services into one Unity Catalog table in OpenTelemetry format, giving you a single place to monitor, debug, secure, and audit all AI activity. See Monitor all AI activity using the unified trace table .

Pod-to-serverless migration supports up to 50 million records
Migrating a pod-based index to serverless now supports indexes with up to 50 million records, up from 25 million. If you need to migrate a larger index, contact Support before you start, as the limit can often be raised for your project.
General availability: Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)
BYOC is now generally available and recommended for production usage on the Enterprise plan, across AWS, GCP, and Azure. BYOC runs the Pinecone data plane inside your own cloud account, so your vectors, metadata, and queries stay in your environment.
Egress metering and monthly egress allowances
Pinecone now meters egress, the data returned to you on reads. Each plan includes a monthly egress allowance: 1 GB on Starter, 10 GB on Builder, and 100 GB on Standard and Enterprise. Egress is metered on reads that return record data, such as query, fetch, list, and search. Writes, index statistics, and index management requests aren't metered.
BYOC stores cluster metadata in FoundationDB
BYOC deployments run FoundationDB inside your Kubernetes cluster to store cluster metadata, with no managed database to operate.
General availability: Full-text search and the Documents API
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.
