How to setup Pinecone Vector Database for AnythingLLM

Official Pinecone Docs for reference.

How to get started

Requirements

• Pinecone account with index that allows namespaces.

Note: Namespaces are not supported in gcp-starter environments and are required to work with AnythingLLM.

Instructions

• Create an index on your Pinecone account. Name can be anything eg: my-primary-index
• Metric cosine
• Dimensions 1536 since we use OpenAI for embeddings
• 1 pod, all other default settings are fine.

VECTOR_DB="pinecone"
PINECONE_API_KEY=sklive-123xyz
PINECONE_INDEX=my-primary-index # the value from the first instruction!
