Show HN: Lutum Veritas – open-source deep research engine (github.com)

1 points by LutumVeritas 146 days ago

I got frustrated with Perplexity/OpenAI Deep Research - expensive subscriptions, shallow results, blocked by Cloudflare.

So I built my own. Key features:

  - Recursive research pipeline (each point builds on previous findings)
  - Camoufox scraper (0% bot detection rate)
  - BYOK via OpenRouter - pay only API costs
  - 200k+ character academic outputs
  - no Censorship

Built with FastAPI + Tauri + vanilla Python (no LangChain).

Cost comparison on same query: Lutum $0.20 vs OpenAI o3 $7.36

Happy to answer questions about the architecture.
