Pinecone that helped popularise RAG now bets on an alternative
Pinecone, one of the companies that helped pioneer the vector database market supporting retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), is sending a different message around AI agents. The News Stack reported that Pinecone has provided 800,000 developers with chunking, embedding and retrieval methods for RAG over the past four years and unveiled its agent knowledge engine, Nexus, in early May. Pinecone argues RAG is unstable, slow and costly, but faces questions over industry adoption of its KnowQL.
