The CUBE format, popularized by Adobe, is a text-based format defining a 3D LUT.
If Python isn't your preference:

No – but can use cube after conversion | | Adobe SpeedGrade | Legacy | Direct XMP support (discontinued) | | 3D LUT Converter (paid) | Windows | Commercial tool | xmp to cube converter
The XMP to CUBE converter successfully bridges two major color ecosystems. It reliably extracts 3D LUTs from Adobe XMP files and exports standards-compliant CUBE files. For XMPs without an embedded LUT, the converter can reconstruct a 3D representation of the parametric adjustments, albeit with minor limitations in extreme saturation cases. The tool is recommended for professional color pipelines requiring interoperability between Adobe and LUT-based systems. The CUBE format, popularized by Adobe, is a
