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 release DeepSeek AI's first-generation frontier design, DeepSeek-R1, along with the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to get begun with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable steps to deploy the distilled variations of the designs as well.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that uses support learning to improve reasoning abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A crucial identifying function is its support learning (RL) step, which was utilized to improve the design's reactions beyond the basic pre-training and fine-tuning procedure. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt more efficiently to user feedback and goals, eventually improving both relevance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 uses a chain-of-thought (CoT) method, indicating it's geared up to break down complicated questions and reason through them in a detailed manner. This directed thinking procedure enables the design to produce more accurate, transparent, and detailed responses. This model integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to produce structured reactions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be integrated into numerous workflows such as representatives, rational thinking and data interpretation 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, enabling efficient reasoning by routing inquiries to the most relevant expert "clusters." This method allows the design to concentrate on different issue domains while maintaining total effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 needs at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to deploy the model. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 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 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 designs to simulate the habits and thinking patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 design, 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 advise releasing this design with guardrails in place. In this blog site, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, prevent damaging material, and evaluate designs against crucial safety criteria. At the time of composing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 implementations on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports only the ApplyGuardrail API. You can develop multiple guardrails tailored to different use cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 model, improving user experiences and standardizing security controls throughout your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 design, you require access to an ml.p5e instance. To examine if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, choose 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 instance in the AWS Region you are deploying. To ask for a limit boost, produce a limit boost request and reach out to your account team.
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) approvals to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Establish permissions to use guardrails for material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to introduce safeguards, avoid hazardous material, and evaluate designs against crucial safety criteria. You can execute safety steps for the DeepSeek-R1 model using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and model actions released 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 general circulation involves the following actions: First, the system gets 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 model for inference. After getting the design's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this final check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is intervened by the guardrail, a message is returned showing the nature of the intervention and whether it occurred at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate inference using this API.
