Given the size of the large language models used by OpenAI and

Illustration: Eniola Odetunde/AxiosQualcomm on Monday said it has agreed to buy Autotalks, an Israeli maker of "vehicle-to-everything" communications chips, with a focus on preventing crashes.Why it matters: This reflects how big chipmakers continue to view vehicles as a key growth area, given increased automation and complexity. For Qualcomm, that's reflected in a 33% revenue increase for its auto segment between fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, and a September announcement that its auto "pipeline" had ballooned to $30 billion.ROI: No financial terms were disclosed, but TechCrunch reports a sale price of between $350 million and $400 million. Autotalks had raised around $110 million in VC funding from firms like Samsung, Toyota, Magenta Venture Partners, Vintage Investment Partners, Gemini Israel Ventures, Global Investment Group and Liberty Ventures. More, per TechCrunch: "Autotalks' tech is used in sensors that help vehicles (which can be bikes, cars or another form of mobility) and their drivers detect road hazards such as oncoming vehicles in a driver's blind spots; it also communicates with other vehicles using compatible tech to improve responsiveness."Go deeper

Mark Cuban always tries to push himself out of his comfort zone, so it's no surprise that he does the same for others.Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, experienced it firsthand when Cuban cold-called her with a job offer in 2018, she recently told LinkedIn's The Path newsletter. Marshall, 63, had left her job as chief diversity officer and senior vice president of human resources at AT&T, and was running her own consulting firm at the time.She had ample leadership experience, and was an expert in workplace positivity and inclusivity, which the Mavericks needed at the time — following allegations of harassment and a toxic workplace culture, as reported by Sports Illustrated earlier that year.But there were two problems. First, Marshall didn't know who Cuban even was. Second, she said: "I was well aware of the fact that I did not know the business of basketball."In response, Cuban gave Marshall some simple yet effective advice, she recounted: "He said, 'You don't worry about that. I will teach you the business side of basketball, and others will do the same.'"This reassurance, and some extra convincing, prompted Marshall to accept the job, becoming the first female CEO in the NBA and

The former Venice home of South Park co-creator Matt Stone is hitting the market for $6.5 million. Located in a residential neighborhood of Venice known as the Silver Triangle, the contemporary-modern house sits on a nearly 7,500-square-foot corner double lot, with just over 3,000 square feet of interior space. “It’s in this very coveted area of Venice that’s very quiet and serene. There’s not much traffic whether car or foot,” says The Agency’s Billy Rose, who holds the listing. He adds, “What makes this property unique is that it’s like the tip of a peninsula, surrounded essentially by three streets. There’s just one neighbor to the rear; it only shares one property line. So it gets tremendous light and it’s extremely private.” The current owner remodeled the interior of the house after buying it from Stone, giving it more of a Danish Modern-inspired contemporary feel. Design details include polished and stained concrete floors; wooden posts and beams; doors and windows in European mahogany imported from 135-year-old Germany company Tischler und Sohn; and handmade, custom kitchen tiles by San Francisco potter Mary Mar Keenan. Downstairs, there’s a chef’s kitchen, dining area and two living areas, which all look out on the
