Quantum error correction (QEC) is the primary strategy for protecting a quantum computer from the environment1,2. The prerequisite of QEC is that errors must remain sufficiently rare, which requires perpetually adapting the control parameters of the computer to the drifting environmental conditions. The current solution to this problem is to terminate the entire quantum computation for recalibration, but it is incompatible with the long runtimes of future quantum algorithms3,4. Here we address this challenge by unifying calibration with computation. We grant the QEC process5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10–11 a dual role: its error-detection events are not only used to correct the logical quantum state but are also repurposed as a learning signal, teaching a reinforcement learning agent12, 13, 14, 15–16 to continuously steer the control parameters and stabilize the quantum system during computation. We experimentally demonstrate this framework on a Willow superconducting processor, improving the logical stability of the surface code 3.5-fold against injected drift. By synthesizing our full suite of technological advances, we achieve record performance of the surface and colour codes, with average
