Course Description
Unlock the Power of Embeddings with Pinecone's Vector Database
In the introductory chapters, you'll delve into the fundamentals of Pinecone, understanding its core capabilities, benefits, and key concepts such as pods, indexes, and projects. Through hands-on lessons, you'll compare Pinecone with other vector databases, gaining insights into its unparalleled functionality and usability.Python Interaction with Pinecone
Equip yourself with the skills to interact seamlessly with Pinecone using Python. Learn to differentiate between pod types, set up your environment, and configure the Pinecone Python client. You will dive into the heart of Pinecone by learning to create vector databases programmatically, understand the parameters influencing Pinecone index creation, including dimensionality, distance metrics, pod types, and replicas, and master the art of ingesting vectors with metadata into Pinecone indexes. You will develop proficiency in querying and retrieving vectors using Python, and gain insights into updating and deleting vectors to handle concept drift effectively.Advanced Pinecone and AI Applications
Going beyond the fundamentals and explore advanced Pinecone concepts such as monitoring Pinecone performance, tuning for efficiency, and implementing multi-tenancy for access control. You will explore advanced applications, including semantic search engines built on Pinecone and integrating it with OpenAI API for projects like the RAG chatbot.For Business
