Nvidia releases open AI models for quantum computing tasks — ‘Ising’ said to be 2.5x faster and 3x more accurate than existing tools for decoding

Nvidia has released Ising, a family of open-source AI models for quantum processor calibration and real-time error correction decoding. Integrated with Nvidia’s CUDA-Q quantum software platform and the NVQLink QPU-GPU interconnect, which was first introduced last October, the Ising models have been released on GitHub, Hugging Face, and build.nvidia.com.

Nvidia has designed Ising specifically to target two bottlenecks that exist between current quantum hardware and fault-tolerant computing: calibration and decoding. The former is the manual process a QPU so that its qubits behave consistently, while the latter translates redundant measurements from an error-corrected logical qubit into a correction signal, and it only works if it keeps pace with the rate at which new errors appear on the processor.

Deadspin | Craig Albernaz, Orioles showing their resolve vs. D-backs

A three-game series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Baltimore Orioles already has been eventful.

One of the teams will capture the series victory when they meet for the decisive game of the set on Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore.

The Diamondbacks evened the series with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday, a night after the Orioles rallied from six runs down to win 9-7.

The series also included a scary sight and then relieving news for the Orioles. First-year manager Craig Albernaz sustained a broken jaw and some fractured cheekbones when he was struck in the face by a foul ball Monday night, but he was back on the job Tuesday.

“I kind of have to show up every day,” he said. “… We have a game. I’m physically able to be here, so let’s go.”

There will be some adjustments away from the field for Albernaz, but he said he can handle the baseball managerial duties. He will be on a special diet and for six weeks he won’t be allowed strenuous activities, so that nixes his role of throwing pitches during batting practice.

“I think it’s more of the peace of mind, knowing I don’t need surgery and stuff,” he said. “I can see the whole eating component could be really difficult, which makes sense about the baby food diet, so soft foods for a while.”

The Diamondbacks faced their own health issue on Tuesday, pulling Ketel Marte from the lineup a night after he hit two home runs. The second baseman was dealing with back tightness, so his availability for the quick turnaround for the Wednesday afternoon game might be in question.

“We were working on him during the course of the game,” manager Torey Lovullo said after the Tuesday contest. “I got word about the fifth inning he’d be unavailable. I’ve got him in the lineup (Wednesday), so hopefully he can go out there.”

The Orioles will hand the ball to right-hander Kyle Bradish (1-2, 5.27 ERA) on Wednesday. He reached the five-inning mark for the first time this year on April 8 in a road victory against the Chicago White Sox. Bradish has been dealing with control issues, as he has walked three batters in each of his three outings.

In parts of five big-league seasons, Bradish’s only encounter with Arizona resulted in a victory during a September 2023 matchup. He allowed two runs on four this across six innings, striking out six and walking three.

Eduardo Rodriguez (1-0, 0.50 ERA) gets the call for the Diamondbacks. The left-hander hadn’t allowed an earned run until his third outing, when the New York Mets broke through for a single tally on Thursday in a game Arizona won 7-1. He went six innings in that appearance.

Rodriguez holds a 14-5 career record with 2.74 ERA in 25 games (23 starts) against the Orioles. Baltimore is the only opponent against which he owns double-digit wins in his 11-year career.

Depending upon how long Rodriguez last on Wednesday, he could have an unfamiliar reliever taking over for him.

With veteran pitcher Merrill Kelly joining the Arizona rotation this week, Brandon Pfaadt was shifted to the bullpen. Pfaadt has appeared in relief in just one of his 87 major league outings, and that was a 2023 game in which he was the bulk reliever after an opener.

Lovullo acknowledged the move will be an adjustment for Pfaadt.

“It’s just where we’re sitting right now,” Lovullo said. “I want to believe it’s going to be great, but it’s going to take some work.”

Last April, Pfaadt threw six shutout innings against the Orioles as a starter, and Arizona won the game 9-0 in Phoenix.

Deadspin | MLB roundup: Three-run 10th completes Jays’ comeback win over Brewers

Syndication: Journal SentinelToronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (27) hits an RBI double during the tenth inning of their game against the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Myles Straw’s two-run double capped a three-run 10th inning as the visiting Toronto Blue Jays rallied for a 9-7 victory over Milwaukee on Tuesday night, the Brewers’ sixth consecutive defeat.

Toronto scored three runs in the ninth to go up 6-4, but the Brewers tied it with two in the bottom half.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s one-out double in the 10th off Grant Anderson (0-1) scored automatic runner Ernie Clement from second to put Toronto up 7-6. Jesse Sanchez was walked intentionally and both runners scored on Straw’s liner to left.

Louis Varland (1-1), who relieved with two outs in the ninth and struck out Joey Ortiz to strand the bases loaded, got the win despite allowing a run in the 10th on William Contreras’ RBI single. Varland stranded runners on first and second with a game-ending strikeout of Gary Sanchez.

Reds 2, Giants 1

Brady Singer threw six strong innings, Spencer Steer and Sal Stewart hit early home runs and host Cincinnati held on to edge San Francisco, which had more hits, 7-3.

Singer (1-1) allowed a two-out, fifth-inning home run to Willy Adames but just five other hits in his six innings. Graham Ashcraft, Tony Santillan and Emilio Pagan all worked a scoreless inning in relief, with Pagan notching his fifth save after a seven-pitch ninth.

The home runs were the only two hits allowed by Giants starter Robbie Ray (2-2) in five innings, during which he labored through 94 pitches. He walked four and struck out six.

Diamondbacks 4, Orioles 3

The game featured a pitchers’ duel between the starters. The Royals’ Cole Ragans allowed just one hit and no runs in six innings. Framber Valdez limited the Royals to one run and three hits in seven innings.

Both starters thrived on getting ground balls. Valdez’s replacement, Will Vest (1-2), took a different approach. He struck out all three batters he faced.

Bryan Woo (0-2) took the loss for Seattle, permitting eight hits and three runs over seven innings with a walk and three strikeouts. The result ended the Mariners’ four-game winning streak.

Rays 8, White Sox 5

Ben Williamson had two hits and three RBIs and left-hander Shane McClanahan earned his first victory in nearly three years as visiting Tampa Bay defeated Chicago.

McClanahan (1-1) sparked the effort, spacing three runs (two earned) and two hits in five innings. After missing the past two seasons due to Tommy John elbow surgery and a nerve issue, McClanahan picked up his first win since June 16, 2023.
