heyz Pinecone community 😄 . My name is Celestino, building a RAG using Pinecone to help my collegemates, their parents and staff easily get campus information, that was the first use case, see: draimo.com . So, for the Pinecone support team, are the indexes stable ppst Google's deprecation of text-embedding-001? it's been bugging me so much. Thanks. Happy to be here.

Hi @faint-match-28987 - First, this sounds like an amazing use case! Nice work. I assume you mean the text-embedding-004 model? It does look like you won't have access to it anymore now that it's deprecated. This means you won't be able to embed a query to do a search, so the indexed data isn't really accessible via semantic search without that. It sounds like Google’s recommended path is to move to gemini-embedding-001 to re-embed the data 😞
