Corollary 9.2.5.23. Let $\kappa $ and $\lambda $ be regular cardinals, where $\lambda $ is uncountable, and let $F: \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{S}}_{< \lambda }$ be a functor of $\infty $-categories. Each of the following conditions implies the next:
- $(1)$
The functor $F$ is $\kappa $-left exact.
- $(2)$
The functor $F$ is $\kappa $-flat.
- $(3)$
The functor $F$ preserves all $\kappa $-small limits which exist in $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$.
If $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ admits $\kappa $-small limits, then all three conditions are equivalent.
