Overview
Kanon 2 Reranker is a state-of-the-art reranking model optimized for legal RAG, research, and classification. It achieves the highest possible retrieval accuracy on both the Massive Legal Embedding Benchmark (MLEB) and Legal RAG Bench, outperforming Voyage Rerank 2.5 by 7%, Qwen 3 Reranker 8B by 9%, and Voyage 4 Large by 24%.
Kanon 2 Reranker has a native context window of 16,384 tokens, however, it can reranker documents much greater in length thanks to Isaacus' semchunk semantic chunking library.
On a single g6e.xlarge instance, Kanon 2 Reranker can rerank 1 billion tokens (roughly 250k average-sized legal documents) per hour.
Like all other Isaacus SageMaker model deployments, your Kanon 2 Reranker deployment will be fully air-gapped, no data will enter or leave your AWS account.
Conveniently, Isaacus SageMaker model deployments are also compatible with the standard Isaacus Python SDK via the Isaacus SageMaker Python integration: https://docs.isaacus.com/integrations/amazon-sagemaker .

Amazon SageMaker model
An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.

- Summary
For a user-friendly walkthrough of how to get started deploying Isaacus models on SageMaker, check out the Isaacus SageMaker quickstart guide on our docs.
This model runs on the fully air-gapped Isaacus SageMaker Model Server, which supports all the same functionality as the standard Isaacus API except that requests to the server must be proxied through the /invocations endpoint.
For example, if you wanted to send a POST request to /v1/rerankings with the data {"model": "kanon-2-reranker", "query": "confidentiality", "texts": ["You must keep this information confidential.", "Isaacus is a registered trademark."]}, you could so by sending /invocations the payload {"path": "/v1/rerankings", "method": "POST", "data": {"model": "kanon-2-reranker", "query": "confidentiality", "texts": ["You must keep this information confidential."]}}.
This means that minimal code changes are necessary to switch between the online Isaacus API and your own private Isaacus model deployments.
In fact, Python users can use the Isaacus SageMaker Python integration to automatically forward requests to the Isaacus API to SageMaker deployments using the standard Isaacus SDK.
Given that this is a private deployment and that authentication is managed by AWS, Isaacus API keys are not needed and are ignored.
As a reranking model, Kanon 2 Reranker currently only supports the /v1/rerankings endpoint. For more information on the arguments accepted and returned by that endpoint, please consult our API reference documentation .
- Limitations for input type
- All the same limitations applicable to the Isaacus API except for the need for an API key.
- Input MIME type
- application/json
Input data descriptions
The following table describes supported input data fields for real-time inference and batch transform.
Field name | Description | Constraints | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
path | The path of the API endpoint being invoked (e.g., `/v1/rerankings`). | As a reranking model, Kanon 2 Reranker currently only supports the `/v1/rerankings` endpoint. | Yes |
method | The HTTP method used for the invocation (e.g., `POST`). Defaults to `POST`. | One of `POST`. | No |
headers | The HTTP headers to include in the invocation request. Defaults to `null`/`None`, in which case no additional headers are sent. | Must be a mapping of strings to strings. | No |
data | The data to be sent as the body of the invocation request. This can be any serializable object. Defaults to `null`/`None`, in which case no body is sent. | - | No |
