Today, we are delighted 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 release DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier design, DeepSeek-R1, together with the distilled variations varying from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.
In this post, we show how to get going with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar actions to release the distilled variations of the models too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language model (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that uses reinforcement discovering to boost thinking capabilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A key distinguishing function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) action, which was used to fine-tune the design's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust better to user feedback and goals, eventually improving both relevance and clearness. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 uses a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, implying it's equipped to break down intricate inquiries and factor through them in a detailed way. This directed reasoning process enables the model to produce more accurate, transparent, and detailed responses. This model integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to create structured reactions while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its extensive capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be integrated into different workflows such as agents, rational thinking and information analysis jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture enables activation of 37 billion specifications, enabling efficient reasoning by routing queries to the most appropriate expert "clusters." This approach permits the model to concentrate on different issue domains while maintaining total efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 requires a minimum of 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 model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs supplying 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the thinking capabilities of the main R1 design to more effective architectures based upon 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 sized, more efficient models to simulate the behavior and thinking patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, using it as an instructor model.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we advise deploying this design with guardrails in location. In this blog, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid damaging material, and examine models against key safety requirements. At the time of writing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 releases on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce multiple guardrails tailored to different use cases and use 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 check if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, select Amazon SageMaker, and verify you're using 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 deploying. To ask for a limit boost, create a limit increase request and reach out 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) authorizations to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For instructions, see Set up consents to utilize guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to introduce safeguards, avoid harmful content, and assess designs against essential safety criteria. You can carry out safety steps for the DeepSeek-R1 model utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to examine user inputs and model reactions released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can create a guardrail utilizing the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to produce the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic flow 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 out to the design for inference. After receiving the model's output, another guardrail check is used. 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 indicating the nature of the intervention and whether it took place at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following sections demonstrate inference using this API.
