They are 1536 dimensional vectors and they do have about 3000 characters of english text as metadata. ---

Hi @Norbert. p2 and p1 pods can both hold about 500k vectors each, without metadata. 3000 characters are about 24k of metadata each, so you’d probably end up closer to about 100k vectors. You should consider using a serverless index, though. It’ll be much easier and far more affordable. You can get started today by just creating one in the [console](https://app.pinecone.io/organizations/). ---
