So has anyone put this model to run and with what hardware?

There is no minimal hardware besides the basic requirements of being able to store/load the weights for inference.

Error: 500 Internal Server Error: model requires more system memory (34.1 GiB) than is available (27.2 GiB)

This is ollama run deepseek-r1:70b with size of 43gb.

32GB desktop.

Yes, as GP said you'll need enough memory to load the weights (and KV cache).

Beyond that it's just how fast you want to go. Pure CPU will be slow, but will work. There has been a few stories and comments here[1] about people running this model.
