ServiceNow releases Apriel Voice 27B Preview, an open speech and tool-use model
The model adds a speech interface to a shared Gemma 4 26B-A4B backbone and outputs text and tool calls, so external speech synthesis is needed. It scores 51.27 EVA-A, 74.13 EVA-X and 65.51 on τ-Voice, with 1.91 seconds mean response latency.
