We consider category theory enriched in a locally finitely presentable symmetric monoidal closed category ν. We define the ν-filtered colimits as those colimits weighted by a ν-flat presheaf and consider the corresponding notion of ν-accessible category. We prove that ν-accessible categories coincide with the categories of ν-flat presheaves and also with the categories of ν-points of the categories of ν-presheaves. Moreover, the ν-locally finitely presentable categories are exactly the ν-cocomplete finitely accessible ones. To prove this last result, we show that the Cauchy completion of a small ν-category Cis equivalent to the category of ν-finitely presentable ν-flat presheaves on C.
