Precision measurements from flavor physics provide stringent constraints on possible New Physics scenarios that are complementary to direct searches in high-energy collisions. The precise determinations of the CKM- matrix elements Vcb and Vub are among the important results of the B factories and require the precise knowledge of the b-quark mass. I will present the current state of the measurements of Vcb, Vub, and the b-quark mass from inclusive B-meson decays at BABAR. I also discuss a new global fit approach to the determination of Vub, called SIMBA, and show first preliminary results.
