Deploying DeepSeek-R1-Distill Models on AWS Trainium & Inferentia

AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia are purpose-built AI accelerators designed to optimize deep learning model training and inference while reducing costs. By leveraging AWS Deep Learning AMIs (DLAMI), users can efficiently deploy DeepSeek-R1-Distill models on these high-performance instances.

This guide outlines the steps required to deploy DeepSeek-R1-Distill models on AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia, ensuring optimal model performance and scalability.

• Cost Efficiency: Reduces overall AI model deployment costs compared to traditional GPUs.
• High Performance: Optimized for large-scale deep learning workloads.
• Scalability: Easily scale AI workloads without infrastructure limitations.
• Seamless Integration: Supports AWS services such as SageMaker, EC2, and S3.4o

Before starting the deployment, ensure you have:

Step 1: Launch an EC2 Instance

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console.
2. Launch an instance with the trn1.32xlarge configuration.
3. Choose Deep Learning AMI Neuron (Ubuntu 22.04).

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

1. Connect to the EC2 instance via SSH.
2. Install vLLM, an open-source tool for serving large language models: pip install vllm
3. Download the DeepSeek-R1-Distill model from Hugging Face: git clone https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B

Step 3: Deploy the Model

1. Serve the model using vLLM: vllm-serve --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B
2. Invoke the model server and send inference requests.

Step 4: Optimizing Model Performance

• Utilize AWS Neuron SDK for hardware acceleration.
• Monitor resource utilization with Amazon CloudWatch.
• Enable Auto Scaling for cost-efficient usage.
