Pinecone¶

Serverless hosted vector store. Vectors in Pinecone, RL scores in a local SQLite sidecar.

Install¶

pip3.11 install "extremis[pinecone]"

Create an index¶

from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec

pc = Pinecone(api_key="pk_...")
pc.create_index(
    "extremis",
    dimension=384,    # match EXTREMIS_EMBEDDING_DIM
    metric="cosine",
    spec=ServerlessSpec(cloud="aws", region="us-east-1"),
)

Configure¶

EXTREMIS_STORE=pinecone
EXTREMIS_PINECONE_API_KEY=pk_...
EXTREMIS_PINECONE_INDEX=extremis

RL scores¶

Pinecone doesn't support partial metadata updates efficiently. extremis stores RL scores in a local SQLite file alongside the Pinecone index:

~/.extremis/
└── pinecone_scores.db   # RL utility scores (tiny, ~KB per memory)

Change the path: EXTREMIS_PINECONE_SCORE_DB=/custom/path.db

Namespace mapping¶

Pinecone namespaces map 1:1 to extremis namespaces.
