The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
Rent cloud GPUs by the second from a global marketplace
Rent from a global pool of 20,000+ GPUs spanning more than 60 GPU types, from RTX 3060-class cards to GB200s, across 40+ data centers.
Choose on-demand for guaranteed uptime, interruptible at 50%+ cheaper, or reserved terms at up to 50% off with guaranteed capacity.
Pay only for the compute you use with per-second billing and no minimum hours, so experiments and short jobs stay affordable.
Provision and optimize instances entirely through code using the CLI, Python SDK, or REST API, which also makes the platform agent-ready.
Offers a polished managed Kubernetes cloud experience with better template stability, but can be slightly more expensive.
