We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal
$\mathbb {L}_{\omega _1, \omega }$
sentence categorical on an end segment of cardinals below
$\beth _\omega $
must be categorical also everywhere above
$\beth _\omega $
. This is done without any additional model-theoretic hypotheses (such as amalgamation or arbitrarily large models) and generalizes to the much broader framework of tame AECs with weak amalgamation and coherent sequences.
