Talus: 23M-parameter diffusion model for game terrain runs in browser

Talus is a 23M-parameter diffusion model trained on 45,000 procedurally generated terrain maps to generate 64x64 heightmaps from terrain type and five properties. Evaluated against a real-vs-real noise floor, it runs in the browser via WebGPU.
