  Hi Ting,

  One is a service (Hybrid) and the other is a package in Ocean (d-wave hybrid). Here are a few more details.

  Leap's Hybrid solver service

  • Provides access to portfolio solvers that use classical and quantum resources to solve your problem
  • The hybrid_v0 solver can solve problems with up to 10 000 variables
  • You only need to worry about the time_limit parameter (the amount of time the solver spends solving your problem)

  dwave-hybrid

  • Is a package in the Ocean SDK that allows you to build workflows that use multiple solvers
  • Allows you to create your own hybrid solution
  • Gives you access to a wide variety of parameters that you can tune for your problems

  I hope this helps!

  Wow, It helps a lot. Now I have known the differences in nature.But I think the reference documents about the dwave-hybrid  is not clear.It's hard for me to instruct a workflow.Do you have some suggestion?

  Hybrid workflows are definitely a different way of thinking about solving a problem if you're new to them. Here are some examples that may help:

  • Problem with Many Variables - This is a step by step example that explains when you might want to use a hybrid workflow and how you can go about building one.
  • Sudoku Code Example - This is a code example that you can open and run directly in the Leap IDE. It shows you one way of building a Sudoku solver with dwave-hybrid. 
  • Map Coloring Code Example - This is another code example. It shows you how to construct a map coloring problem with dwave-hybrid. The example assigns colors to Canadian provinces. 

  I would suggest looking at those examples in tandem with the dwave-hybrid documentation. I find it easier to learn about a new workflow when there are examples of how to build it. 

  Let me know if you have any questions as you're working through the examples. I hope they help!
