Does pinecone allow for a data object to have multiple vector representations?

Hi there, just wanted to update you that we’ve just released our own model and guidance on how to manage multi-vector representations in Pinecone: [Cascading retrieval with multi-vector representations: balancing efficiency and effectiveness | Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/blog/cascading-retrieval-with-multi-vector-representations/)
