Today, we are delighted to reveal that DeepSeek R1 distilled Llama and Qwen designs 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, along with the distilled versions ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion criteria to develop, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.

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

Overview of DeepSeek-R1

DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support learning to improve reasoning abilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. An essential distinguishing feature is its support knowing (RL) step, which was utilized to refine the design's reactions beyond the basic pre-training and fine-tuning procedure. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and objectives, eventually improving both relevance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) method, suggesting it's equipped to break down complex queries and reason through them in a detailed way. This directed reasoning process enables the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This design integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to generate structured actions while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has recorded the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as representatives, logical thinking and data analysis jobs.

DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion specifications in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion criteria, enabling efficient reasoning by routing questions to the most relevant professional "clusters." This method enables the design to specialize in various issue domains while maintaining total efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 requires a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will utilize an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to deploy the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.

DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the thinking abilities of the main R1 design to more effective architectures based on popular open designs like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation describes a procedure of training smaller, more efficient designs to imitate the habits and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 model, using it as an instructor model.

You can release DeepSeek-R1 model 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 site, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, avoid damaging content, and examine designs against key safety criteria. At the time of composing 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, improving user experiences and standardizing safety controls throughout your generative AI applications.

Prerequisites

To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, you require access to an ml.p5e instance. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, select Amazon SageMaker, and confirm you're using ml.p5e.48 xlarge for endpoint use. Make certain that you have at least one ml.P5e.48 xlarge circumstances in the AWS Region you are deploying. To request a limitation boost, develop a limitation boost request and connect to your account group.

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

Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails allows you to introduce safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and evaluate designs against crucial security requirements. You can implement precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 model using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This enables you to apply guardrails to assess user inputs and design reactions released 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 involves the following actions: 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 reasoning. After getting the model's output, another guardrail check is applied. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is intervened by the guardrail, a message is returned indicating the nature of the intervention and whether it occurred at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following sections show reasoning using this API.

Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace

Amazon Bedrock Marketplace offers you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized foundation designs (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock. To gain access to DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock, complete the following steps:

1. On the Amazon Bedrock console, pick Model brochure under Foundation designs in the navigation pane. At the time of composing this post, you can use the InvokeModel API to conjure up the design. It does not support Converse APIs and other Amazon Bedrock tooling. 2. Filter for DeepSeek as a company and choose the DeepSeek-R1 design.

The model detail page provides necessary details about the design's abilities, pricing structure, and execution guidelines. You can find detailed usage guidelines, consisting of sample API calls and code bits for integration.

The page also consists of implementation alternatives and licensing details to help you start with DeepSeek-R1 in your applications. 3. To start using DeepSeek-R1, select Deploy.

You will be prompted to configure the release details for DeepSeek-R1. The model ID will be pre-populated. 4. For Endpoint name, go into an endpoint name (between 1-50 alphanumeric characters). 5. For Number of circumstances, go into a number of circumstances (between 1-100). 6. For Instance type, select your circumstances type. For optimum performance with DeepSeek-R1, a GPU-based instance type like ml.p5e.48 xlarge is suggested. Optionally, you can configure advanced security and infrastructure settings, consisting of virtual private cloud (VPC) networking, service function permissions, and file encryption settings. For the majority of utilize cases, the default settings will work well. However, for production releases, you might desire to review these settings to line up with your company's security and compliance requirements. 7. Choose Deploy to start using the design.

When the release is total, you can check DeepSeek-R1's capabilities straight in the Amazon Bedrock play area. 8. Choose Open in play area to access an interactive interface where you can explore different prompts and change model criteria like temperature level and maximum length. When using R1 with Bedrock's InvokeModel and Playground Console, utilize DeepSeek's chat design template for ideal results. For example, content for reasoning.

This is an excellent method to check out the design's thinking and text generation capabilities before integrating it into your applications. The play area supplies immediate feedback, assisting you understand how the design reacts to different inputs and letting you fine-tune your triggers for optimal results.

You can quickly check the model in the play area through the UI. However, to conjure up the deployed model programmatically with any Amazon Bedrock APIs, you require to get the endpoint ARN.

Run inference using guardrails with the released DeepSeek-R1 endpoint
