Pinecone is a fully managed vector database designed for machine learning applications, offering high performance vector search with low latency at scale. It’s particularly well-suited for semantic search, recommendation systems, and other AI-powered applications.
New: Pinecone integration now supports custom namespaces! Use the namespace parameter to logically separate data within the same index. This is especially useful for multi-tenant or multi-user applications.
Note: Before configuring Pinecone, you need to select an embedding model (e.g., OpenAI, Cohere, or custom models) and ensure the embedding_model_dims in your config matches your chosen model’s dimensions. For example, OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small uses 1536 dimensions.

Usage

import os
from mem0 import Memory

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xx"
os.environ["PINECONE_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"

# Example using serverless configuration
config = {
    "vector_store": {
        "provider": "pinecone",
        "config": {
            "collection_name": "testing",
            "embedding_model_dims": 1536,  # Matches OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small
            "namespace": "my-namespace", # Optional: specify a namespace for multi-tenancy
            "serverless_config": {
                "cloud": "aws",  # Choose between 'aws' or 'gcp' or 'azure'
                "region": "us-east-1"
            },
            "metric": "cosine"
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about a thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movies"})

Config

Here are the parameters available for configuring Pinecone:
ParameterDescriptionDefault Value
collection_nameName of the index/collectionRequired
embedding_model_dimsDimensions of the embedding model (must match your chosen embedding model)Required
clientExisting Pinecone client instanceNone
api_keyAPI key for PineconeEnvironment variable: PINECONE_API_KEY
environmentPinecone environmentNone
serverless_configConfiguration for serverless deployment (AWS or GCP or Azure)None
pod_configConfiguration for pod-based deploymentNone
hybrid_searchWhether to enable hybrid searchFalse
metricDistance metric for vector similarity"cosine"
batch_sizeBatch size for operations100
namespaceNamespace for the collection, useful for multi-tenancy.None
Important: You must choose either serverless_config or pod_config for your deployment, but not both.

            "namespace": "my-namespace",  # Optional: custom namespace
            "serverless_config": {
                "cloud": "aws",  # or "gcp" or "azure"
                "region": "us-east-1"  # Choose appropriate region
            }
        }
    }
}
