AWS is first cloud service provider to offer DeepSeek-R1

Are they providing it through the Bedrock platform and on demand?

DollarDeploy allows to deploy DeepSeek (albeit smaller models) in couple click with LocalAI UI and ChatGPT compatible API to the DataCrunch servers, which are 2-3x cheaper than AWS EC2 with GPUs. We have this running from February 2025.

What is the ideal use case for this? It looks to be 13.5x more expensive for a much smaller model.
