Today, we are thrilled to announce that DeepSeek R1 distilled Llama and Qwen models are available through Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. With this launch, you can now deploy DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier model, DeepSeek-R1, along with the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion specifications to construct, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar steps to deploy the distilled variations of the designs also.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that utilizes reinforcement discovering to enhance reasoning abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A crucial identifying function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) step, which was used to refine the design's responses beyond the basic pre-training and fine-tuning process. By including RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more successfully to user feedback and goals, eventually improving both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, indicating it's equipped to break down intricate questions and factor through them in a detailed way. This guided thinking process permits the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This design combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to generate structured reactions while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be incorporated into different workflows such as agents, sensible thinking and data interpretation jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture enables activation of 37 billion parameters, making it possible for effective inference by routing inquiries to the most pertinent specialist "clusters." This technique permits the model to specialize in different problem domains while maintaining general efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 needs at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to release the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge includes 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs supplying 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the reasoning abilities of the main R1 model to more efficient architectures based on popular open designs like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation describes a procedure of training smaller sized, more efficient models to mimic the behavior and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, using it as a teacher model.
You can deploy DeepSeek-R1 model either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we advise deploying this design with guardrails in place. In this blog site, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and assess models against essential safety criteria. At the time of writing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 implementations on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce multiple guardrails tailored to various usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, improving user experiences and standardizing safety controls throughout your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 design, you require access to an ml.p5e instance. To examine if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, choose Amazon SageMaker, and confirm you're using ml.p5e.48 xlarge for endpoint usage. Make certain that you have at least one ml.P5e.48 xlarge instance in the AWS Region you are deploying. To ask for a limit boost, develop a limitation increase demand and connect to your group.
Because you will be releasing this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the appropriate AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) approvals to use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For guidelines, see Establish permissions to use guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails allows you to present safeguards, prevent harmful content, and evaluate models against essential safety requirements. You can carry out precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 model using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to evaluate user inputs and design reactions released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can develop a guardrail utilizing the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic circulation involves the following actions: First, the system receives an input for the design. This input is then processed through the ApplyGuardrail API. If the input passes the guardrail check, it's sent to the model for inference. After receiving the model's output, another guardrail check is applied. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is intervened by the guardrail, a message is returned suggesting the nature of the intervention and whether it took place at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate reasoning using this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace provides you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized structure models (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock. To gain access to DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock, total the following steps:
