ESV, Mt 14:
ὁ was the singular article nominative.
δὲ was a conjunction "but" or "and" depending on the context. Here, Jesus contrasted their thinking.
οἱ δὲ was sometimes used as the subject marker to identify a subgroup. It could be translated as "But some". On Biblehub, none of the versions used "some". The δὲ-contrast applied to Jesus' statement, not to the subject article οἱ. The disciples collectively believed that they didn't have enough food to feed the multitude.
Some months later, the temple guards brought Jesus before Caiaphas and the council in Mt 26:
NIV:
After the resurrection, Mt 28:
οἱ δὲ could refer to "they", or "some", or "others" depending on the context.

οἱ is the plural article nominative. The subject "they" was not in the Greek. It was implied by the verb "said" and the nominative article οἱ. Here, ESV didn't translate δὲ. The disciples, in turn, contrasted Jesus' request.
