Power constraints in AI data centers and personnel changes at OpenAI were among the top stories this week. Meanwhile, the International Space Station welcomed a full crew complement, and NASA addressed challenges for its Artemis program.
Peak XV Partners invested in C2i Semiconductors, an Indian startup, to address the growing power limitations in AI data centers, according to TechCrunch. C2i, which focuses on system-level power solutions, secured $15 million in a Series A round, bringing its total funding to $19 million. This investment comes as data center energy demand is expected to nearly triple by 2035, as reported by a December 2025 BloombergNEF report.
In other tech news, Peter Steinberger, the creator of the AI personal assistant OpenClaw, joined OpenAI, as reported by TechCrunch. Steinberger, who developed OpenClaw, which gained popularity for its ability to manage tasks, stated that he was more interested in "changing the world, not building a large company."
The International Space Station received a full crew complement with the arrival of four new astronauts via a Crew Dragon spacecraft on Valentine's Day, according to Ars Technica. The new arrivals, part of the Crew 12 mission, included Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway of NASA, Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency, and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos. This brought the total number of crew members on board to seven.
NASA is also working to resolve issues with its Artemis program. According to Ars Technica, NASA is addressing fueling problems with the Space Launch System rocket before the Artemis III mission, which is slated to be the first crewed mission to land on the Moon in over 50 years. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the agency is looking at ways to prevent the fueling problems. For Artemis II, NASA is preparing for a second countdown rehearsal to confirm the resolution of a hydrogen fuel leak that previously cut short a practice countdown run.
