Alibaba Cloud PAI Model Gallery - A platform for one-click deployment of AI models, specializing in DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1.

## Supported Models in PAI Model Gallery The service specializes in deploying **DeepSeek-V3** (a 671-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model) and **DeepSeek-R1** (optimized for high-performance inference). It offers both full and distilled versions, such as **DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B**, tailored for cost-efficient cloud deployment. ## Deployment Acceleration Technologies It integrates three acceleration frameworks: - **BladeLLM**: Optimizes inference speed for large language models. - **SGLang**: Enhances execution efficiency for structured generation tasks. - **vLLM**: Improves throughput via memory management and parallelization. These reduce latency and hardware dependency during deployment. ## Model Deployment Process 1. **Log in** to the [Alibaba Cloud PAI Console](https://pai.console.aliyun.com/). 2. Select a **workspace** and navigate to *Quick Start > Model Gallery*. 3. Choose a model (e.g., DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) and click **Deploy**. 4. Configure acceleration options and resources before finalizing. ## Full vs. Distilled Model Variants - **Full models** (e.g., DeepSeek-R1 671B) require high-end hardware (e.g., 8×96GB GPUs) for maximum performance. - **Distilled models** (e.g., DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) sacrifice minimal accuracy for significantly lower costs, making them ideal for cloud deployments. ## Access and Prerequisites The service is available at [Model Gallery](https://pai.console.aliyun.com/#/quick-start/models). Users need: - An **Alibaba Cloud account**. - Permissions to access a **PAI workspace**. - Login credentials to view full functionality. ## Typical Applications Deployed models excel in: - **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**: Text generation, summarization. - **Inference tasks**: Question answering, logic-based reasoning. - **Structured outputs**: Code generation, data extraction. ## Resource Optimization Strategies - Recommends **distilled models** for cost-sensitive scenarios. - Allows **flexible GPU allocation** based on model requirements. - Provides **pre-configured templates** for common deployment scenarios. ## Alternative Deployment Platforms Yes, platforms like **AWS**, **DigitalOcean**, and **Together AI** support DeepSeek-R1, but Alibaba’s PAI Model Gallery emphasizes **one-click deployment** and integrated acceleration technologies. ## Official References Key resources include: - [Alibaba Help Center](https://help.aliyun.com/zh/pai/user-guide/one-click-deploy-deepseek) - [Alibaba Cloud Community Blog](https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/one-click-deployment-of-deepseek-v3-and-deepseek-r1-models_601973) ### Citation sources: - [Alibaba Cloud PAI Model Gallery](https://pai.console.aliyun.com/#/quick-start/models) - Official URL Updated: 2025-04-01
