Due to its efficacy and adaptability, neural networks are widely employed for real-world and engineering problems. In this article, the dynamics of the flow, heat, and mass transfer in a hybrid Sisko nanofluid are investigated using an unsupervised artificial neural networks (ANN) tuned with hybrid cuckoo search algorithm. The given set of differential equations with the boundary conditions are transformed to mean squared error as a loss function and then minimized using the hybrid cuckoo search technique to achieve more accuracy. To show the accuracy of our designed methodology, we have compared the results with the supervised learning. We observed that, the solutions obtained from HCS-ANN are more accurate as compared to supervised ANN. The solutions, which are mesh-free and convergent, are put to use in an investigation of heat and mass transfer. From the obtained results when parameter of the materials is increased, the fluid velocity also increases. When compared to nanofluids, the wall heat transfer rate in hybrid nanofluid has the greatest value. Similarly, hybrid nanofluid has the greater wall mass flux compared to nanofluid. The temperature and concentration decrease with the increasing values of the Prandtl and Schmidt numbers.
