2025 releases - Pinecone Docs

December 2025

Assistant

Increased metadata limit for assistants

The metadata field limit for assistants has been increased from 1KB to 16KB.Assistant metadata is a JSON object that you can use to store custom organizational data, tags, and attributes for your assistants. You can specify metadata when creating an assistant by including a metadata field in your request, or update it later using the update assistant endpoint.For more information, see Create an assistant and Manage assistants.

Docs

Test Pinecone at scale

Added a new guide to help you test Pinecone at production scale. The guide describes how to create an index, import 10 million vectors, and then use Vector Search Bench (VSB) to capture performance metrics for 100,000 queries. To run this test, consider signing up for a Standard plan trial.

Assistant

Pinecone Assistant now supports GPT-5

Pinecone Assistant now supports the GPT-5 model. To use it, set model to gpt-5 when chatting with your assistant.For more information, see Chat with Assistant and Chat through the OpenAI-compatible interface.

General

Upgrade from Starter to Standard trial

Organizations on the Starter plan can now upgrade to a Standard plan trial at any time. The Standard trial provides 21 days and $300 in credits to test Pinecone at scale, with access to Standard plan features such as higher limits. For more information, see Standard plan trial.

Assistant

Delete Assistant files while they are still processing

You can now delete a file uploaded to an assistant while it is still processing. Previously, you had to wait for file processing to complete before you could delete a file.For more information, see Manage files.

General

Annual commit discount

In the Pinecone console, customers on Standard and Enterprise pay-as-you-go plans can now commit to an annual contract and receive a discount on usage. For more information, see Understanding cost.

Assistant

Increased instructions limit for assistants

The maximum size for assistant instructions has been increased from 8 KB to 16 KB.Instructions are included in every chat API call. Longer instructions increase input token costs for each request and consume more of the LLM’s context window, reducing available space for retrieved context and conversation history.For more information, see Create an assistant and Manage assistants.

API

Dedicated Read Nodes: now in public preview

Dedicated Read Nodes is now in public preview. Users on Standard and Enterprise plans can now create Dedicated Read Nodes indexes using the console and API.With Dedicated Read Nodes, you can provision read hardware for large, high-throughput indexes that require predictable, low latency.For more information, see Dedicated Read Nodes.

November 2025

API

Pinecone API version `2025-10` is now the latest stable version

2025-10 is now the latest stable version of the Pinecone APIs. This version does not include any breaking changes, and provides the following new features:Dedicated read nodes (early access):

The Create an index and Configure index endpoints allow you to create and configure indexes that use dedicated read nodes. With dedicated read nodes, you can allocate dedicated hardware for read operations. This is useful for large, high-QPS indexes that require consistent, predictable low latency.
The Describe an index endpoint now allows you to view information about a dedicated index: shards, replicas, and scaling status.

Namespace and metadata schema management:

The Create a namespace endpoint allows you to create a namespace without upserting vectors. You can optionally configure a metadata schema when creating the namespace to pre-declare which metadata fields should be indexed for filtering.
The List namespaces endpoint now supports filtering namespaces by prefix and returns the total count of matching namespaces.
The Describe a namespace endpoint allows you to view the metadata schema configuration for a namespace, including which fields are indexed for filtering.
The Create an index endpoint now allows you to specify a metadata schema at index creation time to pre-declare which metadata fields should be indexed for filtering across all namespaces.

Update and fetch by metadata:

The Update a vector endpoint allows you to update metadata across multiple records in a namespace using a metadata filter expression, eliminating the need to update records individually by ID.
The Fetch vectors by metadata endpoint allows you to fetch vectors using metadata filters without knowing their vector IDs.

Enhanced sparse search:

The Search with text endpoint now supports a match_terms parameter that allows you to specify terms that must be present in search results for sparse indexes.

Assistant

n8n quickstarts

Added new quickstart options to create an n8n workflow that downloads files via HTTP and lets you chat with them using Pinecone and OpenAI.

SDK

Released Node.js SDK v6.1.3

Released v6.1.3 of the Pinecone Node.js SDK.This version of the SDK fixes a bug in Assistant.listFiles(). Previously, when passing a filter to listFiles, the top-level metadata object was not handled correctly. This caused the method to return all files, regardless of the filter.It’s no longer necessary to provide a top-level metadata object. Instead, declare metadata fields directly in the filter object:

✅ const files = await assistant.listFiles({ filter: { document_type: 'manuscript' } });
❌ const files = await assistant.listFiles({ filter: { metadata: { document_type: 'manuscript' } } });

If you’re using the old syntax, update it so that your filter works correctly. For more information about listing the files associated with an assistant, see Manage files.

October 2025

Assistant

Increased files per assistant on the Starter plan

On the Starter plan, you can now upload up to 100 files to an assistant. Previously, the limit was 10 files.To learn more, see Assistant limits.

General

Enhanced monthly spend alerts

You can now set multiple spend alerts to monitor your organization’s monthly spending. These alerts notify designated recipients when spending reaches specified thresholds. The alerts automatically reset at the start of each monthly billing cycle.Additionally, to protect from unexpected cost increases, Pinecone sends an alert when spending exceeds double your previous month’s invoice amount. While the alert threshold is fixed, you can modify which email addresses receive the alert and enable or disable the alert notifications.To learn more, see Manage cost.

Docs

Agentic quickstart

Added new agentic quickstart options to help you build Pinecone applications with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor. Instead of copying code snippets, you work with an agent that understands Pinecone APIs and implements production-ready patterns automatically.

Docs

API

Pinecone API version `2025-01` is now the latest stable version

2025-01 is now the latest stable version of the Pinecone APIs.

SDK

Released Python SDK v6.0.0

Released v6.0.0 of the Pinecone Python SDK. This version uses the latest stable API version, 2025-01, and includes support for the following:

Index tags to categorize and identify your indexes.
Integrated inference without the need for extra plugins. If you were using the preview functionality of integrated inference, you must uninstall the pinecone-plugin-records package to use the v6.0.0 release.
Enum objects to help with the discoverability of some configuration options, for example, Metric, AwsRegion, GcpRegion, PodType, EmbedModel, RerankModel. This is a backwards compatible change; you can still pass string values for affected fields.
New client variants, PineconeAsyncio and IndexAsyncio, which provide async methods for use with asyncio. This makes it possible to use Pinecone with modern async web frameworks such as FastAPI, Quart, and Sanic. Async support should significantly increase the efficiency of running many upserts in parallel.

Before upgrading to v6.0.0, update all relevant code to account for the following breaking changes. See the v6.0.0 release notes for full details.

Incorporated the pinecone-plugin-records and pinecone-plugin-inference plugins into the pinecone package. If you are using these plugins, you must unstall them to use v6.0.0.
Dropped support for Python 3.8, which has now reached official end of life, and added support for Python 3.13.
Removed the explicit dependency on tqdm, which is used to provide a progress bar when upserting data into Pinecone. If tqdm is available in the environment, the Pinecone SDK will detect and use it, but tdqm is no longer required to run the SDK. Popular notebook platforms such as Jupyter and Google Colab already include tqdm in the environment by default, but if you are running small scripts in other environments and want to continue seeing progress bars, you will need to separately install the tqdm package.
Removed some previously deprecated and rarely used keyword arguments (config, openapi_config, and index_api) to instead prefer dedicated keyword arguments for individual settings such as api_key, proxy_url, etc.

SDK

Released Java SDK v4.0.0

Released v4.0.0 of the Pinecone Java SDK. This version uses the latest stable API version, 2025-01, and adds support for sparse-only indexes.

Before upgrading to v4.0.0, update all relevant code to account for the following breaking changes. See the v4.0.0 release notes for full details.

embed method:
- parameters now accepts Map<String, Object> instead of EmbedRequestParameters.
- The Embeddings response class now has dense and sparse embeddings. You now must use getDenseEmbedding() or getSparseEmbedding(). For example, instead of embeddings.getData().get(0).getValues(), you would use embeddings.getData().get(0).getDenseEmbedding().getValues().
rerank method:
- documents now accepts List<Map<String, Object>> instead of List<Map<String, String>>.
- parameters now accepts Map<String, Object> instead of Map<String, String>.

SDK

Released Go SDK v3.0.0

Released v3.0.0 of the Pinecone Go SDK. This version uses the latest stable API version, 2025-01, and adds support for sparse-only indexes.

embed operation:
- EmbedParameters is no longer typed as a pointer.
create_index operation:
- CreateServerlessIndexRequest and CreatePodIndexRequest structs have been updated, and fields are now classified as pointers to better denote optionality around creating specific types of indexes: Metric, Dimension, VectorType, and DeletionProtection.
Various data operation:
- Values in the Vector type are now a pointer to allow flexibility when working with sparse-only indexes.

SDK

Released .NET SDK v3.0.0

Released v3.0.0 of the Pinecone .NET SDK. This version uses the latest stable API version, 2025-01, and adds support for sparse-only indexes.

Before upgrading to v3.0.0, update all relevant code to account for the following breaking changes. See the v3.0.0 release notes for full details.

embed operation:
- The Embedding type has changed from a simple object to a discriminated union, supporting both DenseEmbedding and SparseEmbedding. New helper methods available on the Embedding type: IsDense and IsSparse for type checking, AsDense() and AsSparse() for type conversion, and Match() and Visit() for pattern matching.
- The Parameters property now uses Dictionary<string, object?>? instead of EmbedRequestParameters.
rerank operation:
- The Document property now uses Dictionary<string, object?>? instead of Dictionary<string, string>?.
- The Parameters property now uses Dictionary<string, object?>? instead of Dictionary<string, string>?.
