I don't know their financials to know if it's a good investment or not, but I have a feeling that they are over hyped. Vector DBs are becoming a commodity with many hosting options too. Again, I don't know what they have in plan for growth. Long term memory is too vague. We'll see how it goes.

Perfect example of AI gold rush nonsense. Pinecone has zero moat and quite a few free alternatives (Faiss, Weviate, pg-vector). Their biggest selling point is that AI hype train people don’t Google “alternatives to pinecone” when cloning the newest trending repo (or I guess, ask ChatGPT).

Spot on. There is zero moat and the self-hosted alternatives are rapidly improving (if not better) than Pinecone. There are good open-source contributions coming from bigcorp beyond Meta too, e.g., DiskANN (https://github.com/microsoft/DiskANN).
