Bedrock Imported Models

Bedrock Imported Models (Deepseek, Deepseek R1, Qwen, OpenAI-compatible models)

Deepseek R1​

This is a separate route, as the chat template is different.

PropertyDetails
Provider Routebedrock/deepseek_r1/{model_arn}
Provider DocumentationBedrock Imported Models, Deepseek Bedrock Imported Model
from litellm import completion
import os

response = completion(
    model="bedrock/deepseek_r1/arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:086734376398:imported-model/r4c4kewx2s0n",  # bedrock/deepseek_r1/{your-model-arn}
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a joke"}],
)

Deepseek (not R1)​

PropertyDetails
Provider Routebedrock/llama/{model_arn}
Provider DocumentationBedrock Imported Models, Deepseek Bedrock Imported Model

Use this route to call Bedrock Imported Models that follow the llama Invoke Request / Response spec

Qwen2 Imported Models​

PropertyDetails
Provider Routebedrock/qwen2/{model_arn}
Provider DocumentationBedrock Imported Models
NoteQwen2 and Qwen3 architectures are mostly similar. The main difference is in the response format: Qwen2 uses "text" field while Qwen3 uses "generation" field.
from litellm import completion
import os

response = completion(
    model="bedrock/qwen2/arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:086734376398:imported-model/your-qwen2-model",  # bedrock/qwen2/{your-model-arn}

OpenAI-Compatible Imported Models (Qwen 2.5 VL, etc.)​

Use this route for Bedrock imported models that follow the OpenAI Chat Completions API spec. This includes models like Qwen 2.5 VL that accept OpenAI-formatted messages with support for vision (images), tool calling, and other OpenAI features.

LiteLLM Proxy Usage (AI Gateway)​

1. Add to config

model_list:
    - model_name: qwen-25vl-72b
      litellm_params:
        model: bedrock/openai/arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:046319184608:imported-model/0m2lasirsp6z

2. Start proxy

litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml

# RUNNING at http://0.0.0.0:4000

3. Test it!

Basic text request:

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --data '{
            "model": "qwen-25vl-72b",
            "messages": [
                {
