Let $F:cal Cto D$ be an accessible functor between locally presentable categories. By Theorem 2.19 in Adamek-Rosicky Locally presentable and accessible categories, there exist arbitrarily large regular cardinals $lambda$ such that $F$ preserves $lambda$-presentable objects. It is tempting to expect that $F$ should preserve $lambda$-presentable objects for all sufficiently large $lambda$, but that is not what the theorem says. However, I do not know a counterexample showing that the stronger claim fails. (For instance, this question asks about this property when $F$ is the pullback functor, and has no answer yet in the general case.)

We may assume that $F$ preserves small $lambda$-filtered colimits. Isn’t it true that, for $mu$ large enough, an object is $mu$-presentable if and only if it is a $mu$-small $lambda$-filtered colimit of $lambda$-presentable objects?

The question requires $mu$ to be regular, but that example in Remark 3.2(4) doesn't assume $mu$ is regular, right? It follows from GCH that $mu^alpha=mu$ for all regular $mu>alpha.$ @MikeShulman: By a diagonalization argument, if $mu$ has cofinality $alpha$ then $mu^alpha>mu.$ A reference is Jech's Set Theory, 3rd Ed, Theorem 3.11.

So I was slightly confused when I posted my comment and maybe caused more confusion. Let's switch notation and ask whether $kappa^alpha > kappa$ for arbitrarily large $kappa$. It doesn't matter whether $kappa$ is regular, because if $kappa$ is such that $kappa^alpha > kappa$, then the accessible functor $FX = X^alpha$ fails to preserve $mu$-presentable objects for the regular cardinal $mu = kappa^+$.

For fixed $alpha$, does $mu^alpha = mu$ hold for all sufficiently large regular $mu$?

We may assume that $F$ preserves small $lambda$-filtered colimits. Isn’t it true that, for $mu$ large enough, an object is $mu$-presentable if and only if it is a $mu$-small $lambda$-filtered colimit of $lambda$-presentable objects? Another way to put it, is that for $mu$ large enough (e.g. larger than $lambda$ and than the set of maps between any two $lambda$-presentable objects), the property of $mu$-presentability of an object $X$ is simply the fact that the set of maps from a $lambda$-presentable object to $X$ is of cardinal $leqmu$.

@Denis-CharlesCisinski As far as I know that is only true if you either remove the $lambda$-filteredness condition on the colimits (see Remark 1.30 in AR) or add the assumption that $lambdalhdmu$ (which changes it from "for sufficiently large $mu$" to "for arbitrarily large $mu$" -- see Remark 2.15 in AR).
