Respan Span-02 Brings Anytime Reasoning

Respan’s Span-02 is an open-weight decision model that reasons until a caller-set deadline, then returns its best answer and confidence. It supports choices, yes/no questions, scores, numbers, images, and computer-use tasks through an API.

// ANALYSIS

Span-02 makes latency a controllable model parameter, which could be valuable for real-time agents, though its benchmark claims still need independent validation.

  • –Returns structured probabilities instead of forcing developers to parse generated text
  • –`budget_ms` lets applications trade reasoning quality for predictable latency
  • –Multimodal inputs and screen interaction expand it beyond basic classification
  • –Open weights enable self-hosting, while the hosted API runs on Respan credits only
  • –Respan reports a Decision Index score of 61.2 without thinking versus Jev’s 58.0
