Free plan gets 3x more capacity with serverless upgrade

What this post added

This post announces a significant upgrade to the Pinecone Starter (free) plan, increasing its capacity by 3x due to efficiencies from the serverless architecture and new algorithms. The free plan now offers 2GB of storage (up to ~300k records), 2M Write Units, and 1M Read Units per month. Additionally, free users can now create up to 5 indexes with up to 100 namespaces per index. The post also details how existing free plan users can convert 'gcp-starter' indexes to serverless, with support for migrating pod-based indexes to serverless planned for the future.
