Creating and configuring a Pinecone index

To kickstart your semantic search application, you'll create and configure a new Pinecone index named 'pinecone-datacamp'. You'll use this in subsequent exercises to host Wikipedia articles from the SQuAD dataset.

If you accidentally create a valid index that doesn't meet the specifications detailed in the instructions, you'll need to add the following code before your .create_index() code:

pc.delete_index('pinecone-datacamp')

Explore the mechanics behind Pinecone's vector database, from pods and indexes to comparing it with other databases. Learn to differentiate pod types, acquire API keys, and initialise Pinecone connection using python. Finally, you’ll learn how to create Pinecone indexes, exploring different parameters such as dimensionality, distance metrics, pod types, and others.
