+GENERAL AVAILABILITY: BRING YOUR OWN CLOUD (BYOC)
+
+BYOC is now generally available and recommended for production usage on the Enterprise plan, across AWS, GCP, and Azure.BYOC runs the Pinecone data plane inside your own cloud account, so your vectors, metadata, and queries stay in your environment. An agent in your cluster pulls operations from Pinecone and runs them locally, so Pinecone needs no inbound network access to your infrastructure.

 FUZZY MATCHING AND SUBSTRING SEARCH FOR FULL-TEXT SEARCH

  * Billing counts units differently. The per-unit rate is unchanged at $2.00 per 1,000 rerank units. One rerank unit covers a query plus up to 100 documents, with documents longer than ~500 tokens auto-chunked into ~500-token chunks that each count toward that 100. As a result, cohere-rerank-4-fast can bill multiple units for a large request, whereas cohere-rerank-3.5 billed one unit per request.
 
 To control the transition yourself, migrate your rerank requests to cohere-rerank-4-fast before August 1. For model details and parameters, see Reranking models.

 PINECONE ASSISTANT USAGE-BASED PRICING AND MONTHLY STARTER LIMITS
 
 Pinecone Assistant pricing is now fully usage-based. The hourly per-assistant fee has been removed. On Standard and Enterprise, you pay for what you use: ingestion (file uploads and updates on an assistant), storage, and chat, context, and evaluation tokens — with no base charge per assistant.For the Starter plan, Assistant included allowances are now monthly and reset each billing period (they are no longer all-time project totals). Starter includes 500,000 chat input tokens, 300,000 chat output tokens, 500,000 context retrieval tokens, and 1,000 ingestion units per month. When you upload files to an assistant, usage is measured in ingestion units (approximately one unit per chunk, ~400 tokens); multimodal PDF chunks account for more ingestion units per chunk than standard text on the same meter.Per-assistant file count limits have been removed for all plans. Usage is governed by ingestion and storage allowances, file size and page limits, and rate limits instead of a cap on the number of stored documents.For details, see Pricing and limits and Pinecone pricing.
