Phantom ships five releases in a day, 3.29.6 to 3.29.10

On October 10, Phantom published versions 3.29.6 to 3.29.10. Pull requests describe a resource sidebar, a Mac installer command and faster CLI startup.

What changed

On October 10, 2026 (UTC), Ashlr published five Phantom releases, 3.29.6 through 3.29.10. GitHub lists them with timestamps that run from 01:28 UTC to 22:56 UTC. This round-up reads the pull requests behind them. It does not test the releases.

3.29.6 adds a saved compact sidebar for resources. The description says it keeps subscription windows, credits, connection status and Grok Build and Bot details separate. It also says token measurements now tell reported numbers apart from estimates, reservations and unknowns.

3.29.8 adds a command, phm desktop install, that installs the signed Mac app. The description says it is limited at first to a Mac with Apple silicon where the app is not already installed, and that a clean-Mac installation has not yet been verified. It also fixes a case where an older chat response could make newer chat activity look wrong.

A pull request merged the same day speeds up the command line. The description says local comparisons measured startup of the compiled Node command at 32 to 33 milliseconds, down from 117 to 118 milliseconds. It says these are local measurements and that hosted gains were not measured.

Several of the other changes are website and release bookkeeping, such as publishing verified release metadata for 3.29.7 to 3.29.10 on the Phantom Secrets site. The descriptions are first-party, and release pages are linked below.

What it means for your work

For builders

Five releases in a day only works if each one passes the same gates. The descriptions say the full set of release checks stays required. Look for that sentence in any project that ships fast.

For business

Frequent releases are good news only if you can see what changed in each. Ask vendors for release notes you can read in plain words, and for the checks a release must pass.

Put it to work

Pick one of the linked releases and read its notes. Then check whether the version you run matches the version your team thinks it runs.

Meta released Muse Wonder with two versions and lower token pricing than Claude Fable 5.1. Independent tests showed comparable results on bug fixing and incident investigation but higher token use.
