Hi Pinecone support, our team is evaluating the Pinecone Assistant based on accuracy, speed, cost. We discovered it outperforms our self-built RAG (also with Pinecone DB) in terms of accuracy.
Can you let me know whether Assistant performs hybird search to improve it accuracy?
Pinecone Assistant is actually doing quite a lot of sophisticated RAG work under the covers and following best practices we’ve learned over many years of helping many of our customers build their own applications.
We’re also constantly changing and improving the implementation behind the scenes so that you as a user don’t need to stay up-to-date with the latest improvements in retrieval practices and technologies. We’re not quite ready to expose exactly how but will be doing so in a follow-up blog post.
As far as that article goes, the poster is referring to the fact that the end user no longer needs to worry about chunking their data before they send it into the RAG flow, Pinecone Assistant is taking care of all that and more for you.
Hi Perry, thank you for the response. Look forward to your blog on all the magics behind the senses. Again, Pinecone Assistant is really doing amazingly.
