Today, we are delighted to announce that DeepSeek R1 distilled Llama and Qwen designs are available through Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. With this launch, you can now release DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier design, DeepSeek-R1, along with the distilled variations varying from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to construct, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.
In this post, we show how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar actions to deploy the distilled variations of the models as well.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language design (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that uses support discovering to improve reasoning capabilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A key identifying feature is its support learning (RL) step, which was utilized to improve the model's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt more effectively to user feedback and objectives, ultimately enhancing both importance and clearness. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, suggesting it's equipped to break down intricate inquiries and reason through them in a detailed way. This directed thinking procedure allows the design to produce more accurate, transparent, and detailed responses. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to generate structured reactions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its comprehensive abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be integrated into different workflows such as representatives, sensible thinking and data interpretation jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion parameters, enabling efficient inference by routing questions to the most pertinent specialist "clusters." This method enables the design to specialize in different problem domains while maintaining general effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 needs a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to release the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 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 upon popular open designs like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation refers to a procedure of training smaller sized, more effective designs to mimic the behavior and thinking patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 model, using it as a teacher model.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we advise releasing this design with guardrails in location. In this blog site, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid damaging material, and evaluate models against crucial safety requirements. At the time of writing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 releases on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can create multiple guardrails tailored to different use cases and apply them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, enhancing user experiences and standardizing security controls throughout your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model, you require access to an ml.p5e circumstances. To examine if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, pick Amazon SageMaker, and confirm you're using ml.p5e.48 xlarge for endpoint use. Make certain that you have at least one ml.P5e.48 xlarge circumstances in the AWS Region you are deploying. To request a limitation boost, create a limitation increase demand and reach out to your account group.
Because you will be releasing this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the right AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) approvals to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Set up consents to utilize guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to introduce safeguards, avoid damaging material, and examine models against crucial safety criteria. You can implement precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 model utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to apply guardrails to examine user inputs and design actions deployed on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can develop a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to develop the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The general circulation includes the following steps: First, the system gets 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 model's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the outcome. However, if either the input or output is stepped in 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 sections demonstrate inference using this API.
