We show that weakly compact cardinals are the smallest large cardinals k where k + < k + is impossible provided 0 # does not exist. We also show that if k + Kc < k + for some k being weakly compact (where K c is the countably complete core model below one strong cardinal), then there is a transitive set M with M ⊨ ZFC + “there is a strong cardinal”.
