Pinecone – Additional Information

Index Custom Objects

Methods inside the Index method category can only be used once a custom object has been created. Methods inside the custom object will target a single index.

To create a custom object, from the Connector Settings page of a Pinecone connector:

  1. Select the Index method category to expand it.
  2. Select the copy icon.
  3. Select the index to copy from the Object dropdown.
  4. Select Copy.

Parameters

Pack Embeddings?

The Embeddings > Generate Vectors method includes a Pack Embeddings? parameter. When set to true, the vectors in the response will be packed into a Cyclr-appropriate format. This allows the vectors to be mapped into to another method in the Cycle, where the corresponding Unpack Vector Values? parameter should also be set to true.

If a single vector is being generated by the Generate Vectors method, this feature is not required and the vector can be mapped into another method in the standard way.

The Pack Embeddings? parameter defaults to false if not set.

Unpack Vector Values?

The Index > Vectors > Upsert Vectors method includes a Unpack Vector Values? parameter. When set to true, will unpack the vectors in the request into the format expected by the API. This should only be enabled when the vectors in the request originate from a method where the Pack Embeddings? parameter is set to true.

The Unpack Vector Values? parameter defaults to false if not set.
