  • An AI agent is only as powerful as the tools it can access. That's why we're building in Gemini CLI's open ecosystem and launching our Gemini CLI extension that connects your AI coding assistants directly to Pinecone via MCP Server. Now your AI can: ‣ Search Pinecone docs ‣ Configure indexes ‣ Test data seamlessly Check out the video by Staff Engineer Jakey Fowler showing how to use Gemini CLI to interact with Pinecone 🎥

    🎙️ Our Founder and Chief Scientist, Edo Liberty, joined the Tech Talks Daily podcast with Neil C. Hughes to discuss the infrastructure powering real-world AI applications. Some highlights from the conversation: 🔍Why more context isn't always better: Edo reveals research showing that providing too much context to LLMs actually degrades performance. Even adding irrelevant information alongside the right data can make results worse, not better. ⚡The architecture challenge: How do you design systems that handle both cold storage for rarely-accessed data AND burst workloads when agents need 500 queries per second? Edo breaks down our approach to balancing performance, scale, and cost. 🧠 Making AI truly knowledgeable: Vector databases aren't just storage; they're the missing infrastructure that lets models access the right context at the right time. This is one of Edo’s best discussions. Listen to the whole conversation: https://lnkd.in/gxDkrPkP

    2nd 🥋 BJJ x Pinecone event finished for TECH WEEK by a16z. There is something about rolling around with people on mats and hugging each other that leads to incredibly open and honest technical discussions. 🤣 Thanks to Professor Gavin Johnson for teaching and Meraki Jiu Jitsu for hosting. We covered everything from knee cut passing to semantic search with vector databases. Thank you to everyone that came out and chatted with us about building knowledgeable AI systems. Hit me up in the comments if you want a "Love Thy Nearest Neighbor" rashguard. Tell me a bit about what you are building. #LATechWeek

    In this week's Dev Interrupted, Ram Sriharsha, CTO at Pinecone, makes a compelling case for vector databases as a cornerstone of AI infrastructure, no matter what you're building. That's because at the heart of AI functionality is search, and externalizing this function is essential for maintaining security, auditability, and control. (and we need those things around here) Curiosity and adaptability are the skills of the future, and the rise of the generalist engineer is pivotal in navigating this new engineering landscape. Ram shares insights on using AI as a "good junior engineer" for testing and fostering the engineering mindset needed for tomorrow's challenges. Building with AI? (Don't answer that -- of course you are!) Then don't miss this conversation, captured live and in person at #ELCAnnual this year in San Francisco with host Andrew Zigler. Also in this edition: - 🎢 Deloitte rolls out Anthropic Claude to half a million technologists, the largest AI rollout to date! - 🦊 Sean Goedecke gives advice to engineers looking to navigate work politics, in response to last week's viral article by Matheus Lima - 🤖 The world learns more about Coinbase's claims around AI generated code - 🪦 The Internet Archive celebrates 1,000,000,000 pages archived!
