Recently, Pinecone announced support for Sparse-dense embeddings, allowing for hybrid vector search. This is pretty awesome as it allows you to support both keyword-style queries that require exact matches (with the sparse vectors) and semantic queries that understand the intention of the query (with dense vectors). The two components of this hybrid vector are sent separately to Pinecone, which stores them as a unified vector. Your ANN results then incorporate distance from both components, with a configura
