Most probably the model wasn't one trained on a corpus representative to what you're validating on - what model did you use? See also Issue #310, this comment.

If you're using the latest model we released, that was trained on predominantly C++ systems/server-side code, which looks nothing like spec. Works well on clang though.

About -static - not sure; so the absolute difference between base and experiment changes when you pass -static?

yes, With static linking, the model results will be worse. With dynamic linking, the model results will be better
