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 deploy DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier model, DeepSeek-R1, in addition to the distilled versions varying from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to develop, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we show how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow similar steps to deploy the distilled versions of the models too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a large language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that uses reinforcement discovering to boost thinking abilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. An essential 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 process. By integrating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more effectively to user feedback and objectives, ultimately improving both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 uses a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, implying it's geared up to break down complicated queries and factor through them in a detailed manner. This assisted reasoning procedure permits the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to generate structured responses while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its comprehensive abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the market's attention as a flexible text-generation design that can be integrated into various workflows such as agents, rational reasoning and data analysis jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mix of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion parameters in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion parameters, allowing effective reasoning by routing inquiries to the most relevant expert "clusters." This method allows the model to concentrate on various problem domains while maintaining overall efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 needs a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to release the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 design to more efficient 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 effective models to mimic the habits and reasoning patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 design, utilizing it as a teacher model.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 model either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we recommend deploying this model with guardrails in place. In this blog, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid harmful material, and evaluate models against essential safety 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 several guardrails tailored to various use cases and apply them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, enhancing user experiences and standardizing security controls throughout your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 design, you need access to an ml.p5e circumstances. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and yewiki.org under AWS Services, select Amazon SageMaker, 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 releasing. To ask for a limitation increase, produce a limit boost demand and reach out to your account group.
Because you will be releasing this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the proper AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) permissions to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Set up consents to use guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails allows you to present safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and examine models against crucial security requirements. You can implement precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This enables you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and design actions 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 circulation 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 out to the model for inference. After getting the model's output, another is used. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the outcome. However, if either the input or output is intervened 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 sections show inference using this API.
