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 release DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier model, DeepSeek-R1, together with the distilled versions ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to build, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to get going with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar actions to release the distilled versions of the designs also.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language model (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support discovering to improve thinking abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A crucial identifying feature is its support learning (RL) action, which was utilized to improve the model's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By integrating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and goals, eventually improving both relevance and clearness. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) method, suggesting it's equipped to break down complex inquiries and reason through them in a detailed way. This guided reasoning procedure allows the model to produce more accurate, transparent, and detailed responses. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to generate structured responses while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has captured the market's attention as a flexible text-generation design that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as agents, logical reasoning and data analysis jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mix 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 relevant professional "clusters." This approach allows the model to specialize in different problem domains while maintaining overall efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 requires a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will utilize an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to release the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the thinking abilities of the main R1 model to more effective architectures based on popular open like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation describes a procedure of training smaller, more effective designs to simulate the behavior and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, using it as an instructor model.
You can deploy DeepSeek-R1 model either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we recommend releasing this model with guardrails in place. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, avoid hazardous material, and evaluate designs against crucial security criteria. At the time of composing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 deployments on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can develop numerous guardrails tailored to different usage cases and apply them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, enhancing user experiences and standardizing safety controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 design, 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, 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 limitation boost, create a limitation boost request and connect to your account team.
Because you will be deploying this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the proper AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) consents to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Set up permissions to use guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails allows you to introduce safeguards, prevent damaging material, and evaluate models against essential security requirements. You can execute security procedures for the DeepSeek-R1 design utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This enables you to apply guardrails to evaluate user inputs and design reactions released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can produce a guardrail utilizing 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 actions: First, the system receives an input for the model. 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 last 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 happened at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following areas show inference using this API.
