Release v5.0.0

Features

API versioning

This updated release of the Pinecone Python SDK depends on API version 2024-07. This v5 SDK release line should continue to receive fixes as long as the 2024-07 API version is in support.

Inference API

Try out Pinecone's new Inference API, currently in public preview.

from pinecone import Pinecone
pc = Pinecone(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
model = "multilingual-e5-large"
Embed documents
text = [
"Turkey is a classic meat to eat at American Thanksgiving.",
"Many people enjoy the beautiful mosques in Turkey.",
]
text_embeddings = pc.inference.embed(
model=model,
inputs=text,
parameters={"input_type": "passage", "truncate": "END"},
)

If you were previously using the pinecone-plugin-inference plugin package to gain access to this feature with the v4 SDK, you no longer need to install the plugin as it is being included by default.

Deletion Protection

Use deletion protection to prevent your most important indexes from accidentally being deleted. This feature is available for both serverless and pod indexes.

To enable this feature for existing indexes, use configure_index

from pinecone import Pinecone
pc = Pinecone(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')
Enable deletion protection
pc.configure_index(name='example-index', deletion_protection='enabled')

When deletion protection is enabled, calls to delete_index will fail until you first disable the deletion protection.

# To disable deletion protection
