Today, we are thrilled to reveal that DeepSeek R1 distilled Llama and Qwen models 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, in addition to the distilled versions ranging from 1.5 to 70 billion parameters to construct, experiment, and properly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.
In this post, we show how to start with DeepSeek-R1 on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can follow comparable actions to deploy the distilled variations of the designs too.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language model (LLM) developed by DeepSeek AI that utilizes reinforcement discovering to enhance reasoning abilities through a multi-stage training procedure from a DeepSeek-V3-Base foundation. A key differentiating function is its reinforcement knowing (RL) step, which was utilized to improve the design's responses beyond the basic pre-training and fine-tuning procedure. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adapt better to user feedback and objectives, ultimately enhancing both importance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) approach, suggesting it's equipped to break down intricate queries and factor through them in a detailed manner. This assisted reasoning procedure permits the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed answers. This model combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT capabilities, aiming to generate structured reactions while focusing on interpretability and user interaction. With its wide-ranging abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the industry's attention as a versatile text-generation model that can be incorporated into different workflows such as agents, logical thinking and data analysis 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 criteria, allowing effective inference by routing queries to the most pertinent professional "clusters." This method enables the design to specialize in different issue domains while maintaining general efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 needs a minimum of 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will use an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to deploy the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled designs bring the reasoning abilities of the main R1 model 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 procedure of training smaller, more efficient designs to simulate the behavior and reasoning patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 model, using it as an instructor design.
You can deploy DeepSeek-R1 model either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging design, we suggest releasing this design with guardrails in location. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, prevent harmful content, and examine designs against key safety criteria. At the time of writing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 deployments on SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace, Bedrock Guardrails supports just the ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce numerous guardrails tailored to various usage cases and use them to the DeepSeek-R1 design, improving user experiences and standardizing security controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model, you require access to an ml.p5e circumstances. To inspect if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, pick Amazon SageMaker, and validate 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, create a limitation increase request and connect to your account group.
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) authorizations to utilize Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. For instructions, see Set up permissions to use guardrails for content filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails permits you to introduce safeguards, avoid damaging content, and examine designs against crucial safety criteria. You can execute safety measures for the DeepSeek-R1 design using the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This allows you to use guardrails to examine user inputs and design reactions deployed on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart. You can produce a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to create the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic circulation includes 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 design for inference. After getting the model'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 sections demonstrate reasoning using this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace gives 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 steps:

Optionally, you can set up innovative security and infrastructure settings, consisting of virtual private cloud (VPC) networking, service role consents, and encryption settings. For most use cases, the default settings will work well. However, for production releases, you may desire to review these settings to align with your company's security and compliance requirements.
7. Choose Deploy to start using the model.
When the release is complete, you can test DeepSeek-R1's abilities straight in the Amazon Bedrock play ground.
8. Choose Open in playground to access an interactive interface where you can experiment with various triggers and change model parameters like temperature and optimum length.
When utilizing R1 with Bedrock's InvokeModel and Playground Console, use DeepSeek's chat template for optimal results. For instance, content for inference.
This is an exceptional way to explore the model's thinking and text generation abilities before integrating it into your applications. The play ground supplies instant feedback, assisting you understand how the model reacts to different inputs and letting you tweak your triggers for optimal results.
You can quickly evaluate the model in the play area through the UI. However, to invoke the deployed design programmatically with any Amazon Bedrock APIs, you require to get the endpoint ARN.
