contents Large language models (LLMs) perform well on common tasks but struggle with generalization in low-resource and low-computation settings. We examine this limitation by testing various LLMs and specialized translation models on English-Thai machine translation and code-switching datasets. Our findings reveal that under more strict computational constraints, such as 4-bit quantization, LLMs fail to translate effectively. In contrast, specialized models, with comparable or lower computational requirements, consistently outperform LLMs. This underscores the importance of specialized models for maintaining performance under resource constraints.
