Can we extract the latent understanding it has?

Would be really cool to convert it's predictive model into a computer program that predicts written in like python/C/rust/whatever, and I think that would better serve our ability to understand the world.

We don't need to; dynamical meteorology is an incredibly mature field and our understanding of the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere grossly exceeds the resolutions and limitations of coarse, 0.25 degree global numerical models.
