Example embodiments allow for networks of hybrid controllers that can be computed efficiently and that can adapt to changes in the system(s) under control. Such a network includes at least one hybrid controller that includes a dynamic sub-controller and a learned system sub-controller. Information about the ongoing performance of the system under control is provided to both the hybrid controller and to an over-controller, which provides one or more control inputs to the hybrid controller in order to modify the ongoing operation of the hybrid controller. These inputs can include the set-point of the hybrid controller, one or more parameters of the dynamic controller, and an update rate or other parameter of the learned system controller. The over-controller can control multiple hybrid controllers (e.g., controlling respective sub-systems of an overall system) and can, itself, be a hybrid controller.
