👋 Hello Alex! I noticed you are configuring `OpenAIEmbeddings`. Would you like me to run a test benchmark on your vector lookup speed?

Yes please! Check if index parameters match Pinecone Serverless requirements.

✅ Everything looks optimal! Dimension size matches 3072 and metric is set to Cosine.
