Today, we are excited 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 specifications to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to get started with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar steps to release the distilled versions of the designs too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language model (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that uses support discovering to boost thinking capabilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A key differentiating function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) action, which was utilized to fine-tune the model's responses beyond the standard pre-training and tweak procedure. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more effectively to user feedback and objectives, eventually boosting both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 uses a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique, suggesting it's geared up to break down complex queries and factor through them in a detailed manner. This assisted reasoning procedure permits the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to create structured reactions while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be incorporated into different workflows such as representatives, rational thinking and data analysis tasks.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture permits activation of 37 billion parameters, allowing effective reasoning by routing questions to the most pertinent professional "clusters." This technique allows the model to focus on various issue domains while maintaining overall performance. DeepSeek-R1 requires at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will utilize an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to deploy the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs supplying 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 model to more efficient 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 imitate the habits and thinking 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 releasing this model with guardrails in place. In this blog, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, prevent hazardous content, and evaluate designs against crucial security requirements. At the time of composing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 releases on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce multiple guardrails tailored to various usage cases and pediascape.science use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, enhancing user experiences and standardizing safety controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, you require access to an ml.p5e circumstances. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, select Amazon SageMaker, and validate 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 limit boost request and connect to your account group.
Because you will be releasing this model with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the appropriate AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) permissions to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Set up approvals to utilize guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to introduce safeguards, prevent damaging content, and examine designs against key safety requirements. You can carry out security procedures for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This enables you to apply guardrails to evaluate user inputs and design actions released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can produce a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic circulation involves the following steps: First, the system 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 design's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the outcome. However, if either the input or output is stepped in by the guardrail, a message is returned indicating the nature of the intervention and whether it took place at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following sections demonstrate inference using this API.
