Today, we are delighted 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 design, DeepSeek-R1, in addition to the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to develop, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we show how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable actions to release the distilled variations of the designs too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language model (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that uses reinforcement discovering to improve thinking abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A key identifying function is its reinforcement learning (RL) step, which was used to improve the model's responses beyond the standard pre-training and tweak procedure. By integrating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and goals, ultimately improving both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) method, indicating it's geared up to break down complex inquiries and factor through them in a detailed manner. This directed thinking procedure permits the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This design combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to create structured reactions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually caught the market's attention as a flexible text-generation model that can be integrated into numerous workflows such as representatives, rational reasoning and information interpretation tasks.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion specifications in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion parameters, enabling effective inference by routing queries to the most appropriate specialist "clusters." This approach permits the design to concentrate on various issue domains while maintaining overall effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 requires at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to deploy the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 model to more efficient architectures based upon popular open models like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation refers to a process of training smaller sized, more efficient designs to simulate the behavior and thinking patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 model, using it as a teacher design.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we advise releasing this model with guardrails in place. In this blog, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, avoid damaging material, and examine designs against key safety requirements. At the time of composing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 releases on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can create several guardrails tailored to different usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, improving user experiences and standardizing security controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 design, you require access to an ml.p5e instance. To check if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, pick Amazon SageMaker, and validate you're using ml.p5e.48 xlarge for endpoint use. Make certain that you have at least one ml.P5e.48 xlarge instance in the AWS Region you are deploying. To request a limitation increase, develop a limitation boost request and connect to your account group.
Because you will be releasing this model with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the proper AWS Identity and To Management (IAM) consents to use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For guidelines, see Set up approvals to use guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to present safeguards, prevent damaging content, and examine models against key security requirements. You can execute security measures for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This permits you to apply guardrails to evaluate user inputs and design responses released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can create a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to produce the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The general 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 getting the design's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is stepped in by the guardrail, a message is returned showing the nature of the intervention and whether it happened at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate inference using this API.
