Seems to be at a rather coarse resolution. No data provided to be able to evaluate skill in comparison to operational models. The main benefits of AI are supposed to be the better resolution, spatially and temporally, which is not demonstrated here. Show me <5km resolution, hourly (or sub-hourly) updates and parameters that matter with demonstrable and verifiable skill and I'll be impressed.
