Today, we are excited 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 deploy DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier model, DeepSeek-R1, along with the distilled versions varying from 1.5 to 70 billion specifications to develop, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.

In this post, we demonstrate how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar steps to release the distilled variations of the designs too.

Overview of DeepSeek-R1

DeepSeek-R1 is a big language model (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes reinforcement discovering to enhance thinking abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A key identifying function is its support knowing (RL) step, which was used to improve the design's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning procedure. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more effectively to user feedback and goals, ultimately boosting both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique, suggesting it's geared up to break down complex questions and factor through them in a detailed manner. This assisted thinking procedure allows the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This design combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to create structured reactions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has captured the market's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be integrated into numerous workflows such as agents, rational reasoning and data interpretation jobs.

DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion specifications in size. The MoE architecture enables activation of 37 billion specifications, allowing efficient inference by routing queries to the most pertinent expert "clusters." This technique allows the design to focus on different problem domains while maintaining general performance. DeepSeek-R1 needs a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to deploy the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs supplying 1128 GB of GPU memory.

DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the reasoning abilities of the main R1 design to more effective 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, more efficient models to simulate the habits and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, using it as a teacher design.

You can deploy DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we suggest deploying this design with guardrails in location. In this blog, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid harmful material, and examine models against key safety requirements. At the time of writing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 deployments on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce multiple guardrails tailored to different use cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, enhancing user experiences and standardizing safety controls across your generative AI applications.

Prerequisites

To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model, 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, SageMaker, pipewiki.org and confirm you're utilizing 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 request a limit increase, develop a limit boost request and connect to your account team.

Because you will be releasing this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the correct AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) approvals to use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For guidelines, see Establish permissions to use guardrails for content filtering.

Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to present safeguards, prevent harmful content, and evaluate models against essential security criteria. You can carry out precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to apply guardrails to assess 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 create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.

The general flow 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 receiving the design's output, another guardrail check is applied. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the final outcome. 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 occurred at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following sections demonstrate reasoning using this API.
