Today, we are delighted 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 design, DeepSeek-R1, together with the distilled variations ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion specifications to construct, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI concepts on AWS.
In this post, we demonstrate how to begin with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable steps to release the distilled variations of the models too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language design (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support learning to improve thinking capabilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. An essential distinguishing function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) step, which was used to fine-tune the design's actions beyond the standard pre-training and fine-tuning procedure. By integrating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more efficiently to user feedback and goals, eventually boosting both relevance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) method, suggesting it's geared up to break down complex questions and reason through them in a detailed way. This directed thinking procedure permits the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This design combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to create structured responses while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its extensive capabilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be incorporated into various workflows such as agents, rational thinking and information analysis jobs.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mix of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion specifications in size. The MoE architecture allows activation of 37 billion specifications, enabling effective inference by routing queries to the most pertinent expert "clusters." This technique allows the design to concentrate on different problem domains while maintaining overall effectiveness. DeepSeek-R1 requires at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for reasoning. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge circumstances to release the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge comes with 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models 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 refers to a procedure of training smaller sized, more effective models to imitate the behavior and reasoning patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 design, utilizing it as an instructor design.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we advise deploying this model with guardrails in place. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, avoid damaging material, and examine designs against essential security requirements. At the time of composing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 implementations on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can develop multiple guardrails tailored to different use cases and apply them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, improving 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 examine if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, choose Amazon SageMaker, and verify 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 releasing. To ask for a limit increase, produce a limitation boost request and connect to your account group.
Because you will be releasing this model with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, make certain you have the proper AWS Identity and Gain Access To Management (IAM) permissions to use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For directions, see Set up approvals to use guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to present safeguards, prevent hazardous material, and evaluate designs against crucial security criteria. You can implement security steps for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This permits you to use guardrails to assess user inputs and design reactions deployed 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 circulation involves the following actions: First, the system receives 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 design for reasoning. After getting the design's output, another guardrail check is used. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the final 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.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace provides you access to over 100 popular, emerging, and specialized foundation models (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock. To gain access to DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock, total the following actions:

Optionally, you can configure advanced security and facilities settings, consisting of virtual private cloud (VPC) networking, service function consents, and encryption settings. For the majority of cases, the default settings will work well. However, for production releases, you might wish to examine these settings to line up with your company's security and compliance requirements.
7. Choose Deploy to begin using the model.
When the deployment is complete, you can check DeepSeek-R1's capabilities straight in the Amazon Bedrock playground.
