On March 11, 2025, cloud computing giant AWS (Amazon Web Services) announced that the Chinese AI large language model DeepSeek-R1 has officially been fully launched on the Amazon Bedrock platform. Enterprises can now directly access this powerful AI tool without building or maintaining their own servers, reducing costs while improving overall intelligence capabilities.

As the first Chinese large model available on Amazon Bedrock, DeepSeek-R1 has attracted thousands of enterprise testers since its early release. Its efficient training architecture significantly reduces inference costs, reportedly to only 5%–10% of comparable models. In real-world tests, some enterprises found that processing million-scale data tasks reduced total costs from tens of thousands of yuan to just a few thousand, greatly improving AI cost efficiency. Previously, DeepSeek-R1 was available on the Amazon Bedrock Marketplace for users to deploy on their own infrastructure. Now, through Bedrock’s custom model import feature, enterprises can also upload fine-tuned distilled versions based on Llama architecture, host them on AWS, and integrate them seamlessly into existing systems via a single API. AWS also recommends combining Amazon Bedrock Guardrails and model evaluation tools to ensure content safety and data privacy compliance. AWS Vice President of Generative AI, Vasi Philomin, stated: “The launch of DeepSeek-R1 allows enterprises to apply AI at lower cost and higher performance, while using tools like Bedrock Guardrails to build strong safety protections and ensure privacy compliance.”Three Steps to Enable AI Transformation
1. One-Click Access Select the DeepSeek-R1 model, configure compute resources, obtain an API key, and start using the AI service instantly with zero deployment barriers. 2. Customization Enterprises can upload fine-tuned lightweight models, such as distilled versions based on Llama, to build customized AI assistants. For example, an e-commerce platform used DeepSeek-R1 to build a smart customer service system, improving complaint handling efficiency by 300%. 3. Data Security and Compliance-
- Data Protection: End-to-end encryption and permission control, with security standards comparable to banking systems
- Content Moderation: Bedrock Guardrails filters sensitive content and prevents unsafe AI outputs
- Global Compliance: Complies with over 20 international privacy standards including GDPR
