Use sample datasets

To quickly utilize and test Pinecone features without uploading sensitive data or spending time searching for sample data, load a sample dataset directly in the console:

1. Create a project.
2. Click Load from dataset.
3. Select a sample dataset from the gallery.
4. Click Create index.

Pinecone is eventually consistent, so there can be a delay before the dataset is available to query. Use the describe_index_stats operation to check if the current vector count matches the number of vectors in the dataset.
