[Bug] Pinecone has no attribute 'from_texts'

What was reported

Issue pinecone-io/python-sdk#388 (closed, 5 comments): ---

• [x] I believe this is a new bug
• [x] I have searched the existing Github issues and Community Forum, and I could not find an existing post for this bug

Describe the bug When attempting to create an embedding using Pinecone in a Google Colab notebook, an AttributeError is raised. The functionality that was working previously to generate embeddings from text chunks is now broken.

Error information The full stack trace of the error is as follows:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
[ipython-input-18-dbd3c6635021] in <cell

## The verified resolution

[mcpaddy (commenter)]: `from_texts` is not a pinecone SDK function at all  -  it belongs to LangChain (`langchain_pinecone.PineconeVectorStore.from_texts()`). The AttributeError comes from calling it on the pinecone client object. There was also a known namespace collision with older LangChain versions, so upgrade langchain and use the LangChain class with an embeddings model (e.g. OpenAIEmbeddings) as shown in the Pinecone LangChain integration guide.
