Today, we are excited to reveal 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 design, DeepSeek-R1, together with the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion criteria to construct, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to begin with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar steps to deploy the distilled variations of the designs as well.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support learning to enhance thinking capabilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A crucial distinguishing feature is its support learning (RL) step, which was used to refine the design's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By including RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt more efficiently to user feedback and goals, eventually boosting both relevance and clearness. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, meaning it's equipped to break down complicated inquiries and reason through them in a detailed manner. This guided thinking process enables the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to create structured responses while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be integrated into various workflows such as representatives, logical reasoning and data interpretation jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes 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 inquiries to the most relevant professional "clusters." This method permits the model to concentrate on different problem domains while maintaining general efficiency. 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 instance to deploy the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge includes 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs providing 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the thinking capabilities of the main R1 design to more efficient architectures based on popular open models like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation refers to a process of training smaller, more efficient models to imitate the behavior and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, using it as a teacher design.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we recommend deploying this design with guardrails in location. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and evaluate models against essential safety requirements. At the time of writing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 implementations on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce several guardrails tailored to different usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, enhancing user experiences and standardizing security 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, choose Amazon SageMaker, higgledy-piggledy.xyz and verify 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 limit increase, create a limit boost demand and connect to your account group.
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) consents to use Guardrails. For instructions, see Set up consents to use guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails allows you to introduce safeguards, avoid harmful content, and assess designs against key security requirements. You can execute precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 model utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and design actions 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 create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The general flow includes the following actions: 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 stepped in by the guardrail, a message is returned suggesting the nature of the intervention and whether it occurred at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate reasoning utilizing this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace offers 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 steps:
