langchain pinecone update

My RAG example no longer works after pinecone update. Apparently, I can’t rely on LLM on this. Both gpt4o and claude gave misleading solution. Claude did solve some but can’t fix all. Basically, pinecone expect to generate as class like rather than using init like My problem is that I can’t pass the key to…
