Sign up and start building in seconds. Easily embed, upsert, and index your data with a single API.
from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec
# Create a serverless index
# "dimension" needs to match the dimension of your embedding model
pc = Pinecone(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
pc.create_index(name="example-index", dimension=1024,
spec=ServerlessSpec(cloud='aws', region='us-east-1')
)
# Target the index
index = pc.Index("example-index")
# Embed your data
vector = pc.inference.embed(
model="multilingual-e5-large",
inputs=["The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."],
parameters={
"input_type": "passage",
"truncate": "END"
}
)
# Upsert your vector embedding(s)
upsert_response = index.upsert(
vectors=[
