Per the marketing material it's up to a PFLOP of mixed precision (is that the same as just saying "half precision"? or is it 8 bit?) for $25/hour.

I can easily see people paying full price for that. Still, spot price is currently $2.40.

It must be a misplaced comma. 15.7 single precision can never translate to 125 mixed.
The reason Nvidia quote 120 TLFOPS mixed precision on V100 is because of the new tensor core.
