Pinecone Nexus, Marketplace, Builder tier & the Future of Agents

It's Pinecone Launch Week! Pinecone CEO Ash Ashutosh joins the stream to break down what's changed in the AI market, why agents are becoming the dominant "user," and how Pinecone is responding with a wave of new releases. We cover Pinecone Nexus and those token benchmarks, the new Pinecone Marketplace with nearly 100 app templates, Full-Text Search, the new Builder Tier at a $20/month flat-rate, and a sneak peek at a multimodal bird-search demo combining image vectors (embedded with Gemini Embedding 2) and full text search.
