Today, we are excited to announce that DeepSeek R1 distilled Llama and Qwen designs 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, along with the distilled versions ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to develop, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to get going with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable actions to release the distilled versions of the designs also.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that uses support learning to boost reasoning abilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. An essential identifying function is its support learning (RL) action, which was utilized to fine-tune the model's responses beyond the basic pre-training and tweak process. By including RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more effectively to user feedback and goals, ultimately enhancing both importance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 employs a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, implying it's equipped to break down intricate inquiries and reason through them in a detailed way. This directed thinking process allows the model to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This model combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to produce structured responses while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually recorded the market's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as agents, logical reasoning and data analysis jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion parameters in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion specifications, allowing efficient reasoning by routing inquiries to the most relevant specialist "clusters." This approach permits the design to focus on different problem domains while maintaining total effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 needs at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance 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 abilities of the main R1 design to more efficient architectures based on popular open designs like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation describes a process of training smaller sized, more efficient models to imitate the habits and reasoning patterns of the larger DeepSeek-R1 design, utilizing it as an instructor design.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 model either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we advise releasing this model with guardrails in location. In this blog, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to present safeguards, avoid hazardous content, and evaluate designs against key security requirements. At the time of composing this blog, for DeepSeek-R1 implementations on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can develop numerous guardrails tailored to various use cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, enhancing user experiences and standardizing security controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, you need access to an ml.p5e circumstances. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, choose Amazon SageMaker, and verify 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 deploying. To ask for a limit increase, produce a limitation increase request and reach out to your account team.
Because you will be deploying this design with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the correct AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) permissions to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For guidelines, see Set up permissions to utilize guardrails for higgledy-piggledy.xyz content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to introduce safeguards, prevent damaging content, and examine designs against crucial safety requirements. You can execute precaution for the DeepSeek-R1 design utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and design actions deployed on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can develop a guardrail utilizing the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic flow involves 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 inference. After receiving the model's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the outcome. 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 happened at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate reasoning using this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace provides you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized structure models (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock. To gain access to DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock, complete the following actions:
