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 versions varying from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we show how to begin with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable steps to release the distilled variations of the models as well.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that uses support learning to improve reasoning capabilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. An essential differentiating function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) step, which was utilized to improve the design's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By including RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and goals, ultimately enhancing both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique, meaning it's geared up to break down complicated queries and reason through them in a detailed way. This guided thinking process allows the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This model combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to generate structured actions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its comprehensive abilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as representatives, logical thinking and data interpretation tasks.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mix of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion parameters, making it possible for effective inference by routing questions to the most appropriate expert "clusters." This method permits the model to specialize in different problem domains while maintaining overall efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 needs at least 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 includes 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs providing 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 design 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 process of training smaller, more effective models to simulate the habits and reasoning patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 model, 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 releasing this design with guardrails in place. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and examine models against key security 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 numerous guardrails tailored to different usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, improving user experiences and standardizing security controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, you need access to an ml.p5e instance. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, pick Amazon SageMaker, and verify 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 limit increase, create a limitation boost demand and reach out to your account team.
Because you will be deploying this model with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the proper AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) authorizations to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For instructions, see Establish permissions to utilize guardrails for it-viking.ch content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to introduce safeguards, prevent hazardous content, and examine designs against crucial safety requirements. You can carry out precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 model using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This permits you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and design actions deployed 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 develop the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The general circulation includes the following steps: 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 out to the design for reasoning. After getting the model's output, another guardrail check is applied. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is intervened by the guardrail, a message is returned indicating the nature of the intervention and whether it occurred at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following sections show inference using this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace provides you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized structure designs (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock. To gain access to DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock, complete the following actions:
