A Reddit user reports that Gemini 4.1 has quietly appeared in the Gemini Spark interface (unconfirmed whether it's Pro or Flash). They tested it by generating a Koala SVG and compared it against Gemini 3.8 Flash, noting it is "very slow to be a Flash model," hinting the new model may be a different tier or still being tuned.
Unverified user-side observation; the model's identity and capabilities remain to be confirmed.
