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, along with the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to construct, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.

In this post, we demonstrate how to begin with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable actions to deploy the distilled variations of the models as well.

Overview of DeepSeek-R1

DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support finding out to boost thinking abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A key distinguishing feature is its support learning (RL) action, which was used to refine the model's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning process. By including RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust better to user feedback and objectives, ultimately improving both significance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique, implying it's equipped to break down complicated inquiries and factor through them in a detailed manner. This directed reasoning process allows the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This model integrates RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to produce structured reactions while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its comprehensive abilities DeepSeek-R1 has actually caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be incorporated into numerous workflows such as agents, logical reasoning and information analysis jobs.

DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a Mix of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion specifications in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion parameters, making it possible for effective inference by routing queries to the most relevant professional "clusters." This approach allows the design to concentrate on different problem domains while maintaining total effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 requires at least 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 design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.

DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the reasoning capabilities of the main R1 design to more efficient architectures based upon popular open designs like Qwen (1.5 B, 7B, 14B, and 32B) and Llama (8B and 70B). Distillation refers to a procedure of training smaller, more efficient models to simulate the habits and thinking patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 model, using 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 suggest releasing this model with guardrails in place. In this blog, we will utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, prevent hazardous material, and examine designs against crucial safety requirements. 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 multiple guardrails tailored to different usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, enhancing user experiences and standardizing security controls throughout your generative AI applications.

Prerequisites

To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 design, 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, pick 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 request a limitation boost, produce a limitation increase demand and connect to your account group.

Because you will be releasing 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 directions, see Set up authorizations to use guardrails for material filtering.

Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to introduce safeguards, avoid hazardous material, and assess designs against essential safety criteria. You can implement security measures for the DeepSeek-R1 model utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to apply guardrails to examine user inputs and design reactions released on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can create a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to develop the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.

The basic 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 to the design for reasoning. After getting the model's output, another guardrail check is applied. 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 happened at the input or output phase. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate inference using this API.

Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace

Amazon Bedrock Marketplace gives you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized structure 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 writing this post, you can use the InvokeModel API to conjure up the design.

The page also consists of deployment options and licensing details to assist you begin with DeepSeek-R1 in your applications. 3. To begin using DeepSeek-R1, pick Deploy.

You will be prompted to set up the release details for DeepSeek-R1. The design ID will be pre-populated. 4. For Endpoint name, go into an endpoint name (between 1-50 alphanumeric characters). 5. For Number of instances, get in a variety of instances (in between 1-100). 6. For Instance type, choose your instance type. For optimal efficiency with DeepSeek-R1, a GPU-based circumstances type like ml.p5e.48 xlarge is suggested. Optionally, you can set up sophisticated security and infrastructure settings, including virtual private cloud (VPC) networking, service function permissions, and file encryption settings. For a lot of use cases, the default settings will work well. However, for production deployments, you may desire to evaluate these settings to line up with your company's security and compliance requirements. 7. to start utilizing the design.

When the release is total, you can evaluate DeepSeek-R1's abilities straight in the Amazon Bedrock play area. 8. Choose Open in play area to access an interactive user interface where you can try out different triggers and change model criteria like temperature and optimum length. When using R1 with Bedrock's InvokeModel and Playground Console, use DeepSeek's chat design template for optimum results. For instance, material for inference.

This is an exceptional way to explore the design's reasoning and text generation capabilities before incorporating it into your applications. The play area provides instant feedback, assisting you understand how the model reacts to numerous inputs and letting you fine-tune your prompts for optimum results.

You can rapidly evaluate the design in the play ground through the UI. However, to conjure up the released design programmatically with any Amazon Bedrock APIs, you require to get the endpoint ARN.

Run inference using guardrails with the deployed DeepSeek-R1 endpoint

The following code example demonstrates how to perform inference using a released DeepSeek-R1 design through Amazon Bedrock utilizing the invoke_model and ApplyGuardrail API. You can create a guardrail utilizing the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to develop the guardrail, see the GitHub repo. After you have developed the guardrail, use the following code to carry out guardrails. The script initializes the bedrock_runtime customer, configures inference criteria, and sends out a demand to generate text based on a user prompt.
