I have to agree here - including pinecone in the images of major competitors but doing absolutely no analysis of the product is bizarre. I would expect almost everyone would come into the article aware of pinecone and pg_vector, and often just at a “it’s a leading vector database but that’s all I know” level. It leaves a giant question mark in my mind of how pinecone fits into the space of competitors. It’s absence (beyond an image with its name called out) is baffling.

I am also a bit surprised at the hostility to the pinecone employee here. I see a bunch of other companies and projects jumping in and everything is cool. But for some reason the pinecone dude catches a lot of grief.

What’s going on? Is there some weird toxic subculture in the vector database space that’s got it’s knives kit for pinecone for some reason?

Unfortunately, some players in the space (who are on this list) are cheating and playing an unfair game. I guess that this comes with a rapidly growing space.

I hope we can all quickly go back to focussing on our respective communities and educating the market (together) on the awesome things one can do with vector DBs.
