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, in addition to the distilled variations varying from 1.5 to 70 billion criteria 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 big language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes reinforcement learning to enhance reasoning capabilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A key identifying function is its support knowing (RL) action, which was used to refine the model's reactions beyond the basic pre-training and tweak process. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and objectives, eventually boosting both relevance and clearness. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, indicating it's equipped to break down complicated questions and reason through them in a detailed way. This directed reasoning procedure allows the model to produce more accurate, transparent, and detailed responses. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to generate structured responses while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its comprehensive capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has recorded the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as agents, rational thinking and information interpretation tasks.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture enables activation of 37 billion criteria, enabling effective reasoning by routing inquiries to the most pertinent professional "clusters." This approach enables the design to specialize in different issue domains while maintaining overall effectiveness. 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 design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs providing 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 design to more effective architectures based on popular open models like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation describes a procedure of training smaller sized, more effective models to simulate the habits and reasoning patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 design, utilizing it as a teacher model.
You can deploy DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we recommend releasing this design with guardrails in place. In this blog, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, prevent hazardous material, and evaluate designs against essential security requirements. At the time of writing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 deployments on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can create numerous guardrails tailored to various usage cases and apply them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, improving user experiences and standardizing security controls throughout your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, 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, pick Amazon SageMaker, and verify you're utilizing 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 releasing. To request a limitation increase, develop a limit increase demand and reach out to your account team.
Because you will be releasing this model with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the correct AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) authorizations to use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Establish consents to utilize guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to present safeguards, avoid damaging material, and assess designs against crucial security requirements. You can carry out safety steps for the DeepSeek-R1 model using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to apply guardrails to assess user inputs and model responses released 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 produce the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic circulation involves 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 design for inference. 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 suggesting the nature of the intervention and whether it happened at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following areas show inference utilizing this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
