Today, we are thrilled 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, in addition to the distilled variations varying from 1.5 to 70 billion specifications to construct, experiment, and responsibly 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 similar actions to deploy the distilled variations of the models also.
Overview of DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1 is a big language model (LLM) established by DeepSeek AI that utilizes support finding out to improve thinking abilities through a multi-stage training process from a DeepSeek-V3-Base structure. A key distinguishing function is its support learning (RL) action, which was used to refine the design's actions beyond the basic pre-training and fine-tuning process. By incorporating RL, DeepSeek-R1 can adjust more successfully to user feedback and objectives, eventually boosting both relevance and clarity. In addition, DeepSeek-R1 utilizes a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique, meaning it's geared up to break down intricate inquiries and reason through them in a detailed way. This assisted thinking procedure allows the design to produce more precise, transparent, and detailed responses. This model combines RL-based fine-tuning with CoT abilities, aiming to generate structured responses while concentrating on interpretability and user interaction. With its extensive abilities DeepSeek-R1 has caught the market's attention as a versatile text-generation design that can be incorporated into various workflows such as agents, logical reasoning and information analysis tasks.
DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mix of Experts (MoE) architecture and is 671 billion criteria in size. The MoE architecture permits activation of 37 billion parameters, enabling efficient inference by routing queries to the most appropriate specialist "clusters." This approach permits the model to focus on various problem domains while maintaining total efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 requires at least 800 GB of HBM memory in FP8 format for inference. In this post, we will utilize an ml.p5e.48 xlarge instance to release the design. ml.p5e.48 xlarge features 8 Nvidia H200 GPUs offering 1128 GB of GPU memory.
DeepSeek-R1 distilled models bring the thinking capabilities of the main R1 model to more efficient architectures based upon 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, more efficient models to simulate the behavior and thinking patterns of the bigger DeepSeek-R1 design, utilizing it as an instructor model.
You can release DeepSeek-R1 design either through SageMaker JumpStart or Bedrock Marketplace. Because DeepSeek-R1 is an emerging model, we advise releasing this design with guardrails in location. In this blog site, we will use Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to introduce safeguards, prevent damaging material, and evaluate designs against key security criteria. At the time of composing this blog site, for DeepSeek-R1 deployments 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 model, improving user experiences and standardizing safety controls across your generative AI applications.
Prerequisites
To release the DeepSeek-R1 model, you need access to an ml.p5e instance. To check if you have quotas for P5e, open the Service Quotas console and under AWS Services, select 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 releasing. To ask for a limitation boost, create a limit increase request and reach out 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 permissions to use guardrails for systemcheck-wiki.de material filtering.
Implementing guardrails with the ApplyGuardrail API
Amazon Bedrock Guardrails enables you to present safeguards, prevent harmful content, and evaluate models against key security requirements. You can execute safety procedures for the DeepSeek-R1 model utilizing the Amazon Bedrock ApplyGuardrail API. This enables you to apply guardrails to assess user inputs and design actions released 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 develop the guardrail, see the GitHub repo.
The basic flow includes the following steps: 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 to the model for reasoning. After getting the model's output, another guardrail check is applied. If the output passes this last check, it's returned as the result. However, if either the input or output is intervened by the guardrail, a message is returned suggesting the nature of the intervention and whether it occurred at the input or output stage. The examples showcased in the following areas demonstrate reasoning utilizing this API.
Deploy DeepSeek-R1 in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace
Amazon Bedrock Marketplace offers 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:
1. On the Amazon Bedrock console, choose Model catalog under Foundation designs in the navigation pane.
At the time of composing this post, you can utilize the InvokeModel API to invoke the model. It does not support Converse APIs and other Amazon Bedrock tooling.

Optionally, you can configure sophisticated security and facilities settings, including virtual personal cloud (VPC) networking, service function permissions, and encryption settings. For a lot of utilize cases, the default settings will work well. However, for production deployments, you may wish to examine these settings to align with your company's security and compliance requirements.
7. Choose Deploy to begin utilizing the design.
When the implementation is total, you can check DeepSeek-R1's abilities straight in the Amazon Bedrock play area.
8. Choose Open in play area to access an interactive interface where you can explore various prompts and adjust design parameters like temperature level and maximum length.
When using R1 with Bedrock's InvokeModel and Playground Console, utilize DeepSeek's chat design template for optimal outcomes. For instance, content for inference.
This is an exceptional way to check out the design's reasoning and text generation abilities before incorporating it into your applications. The play area supplies instant feedback, helping you understand how the design reacts to various inputs and letting you tweak your prompts for ideal results.
You can rapidly check 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 utilizing guardrails with the released DeepSeek-R1 endpoint
The following code example shows how to carry out reasoning using a released DeepSeek-R1 design through Amazon Bedrock using the invoke_model and ApplyGuardrail API. You can produce a guardrail using the Amazon Bedrock console or the API. For the example code to produce the guardrail, see the GitHub repo. After you have created the guardrail, utilize the following code to execute guardrails. The script initializes the bedrock_runtime customer, configures inference criteria, and sends a demand to generate text based upon a user prompt.
