Mar 5, 2020 at 13:33 comment added Jeremy Rickard @MartinBrandenburg I'm using Quillen's definition en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_category, which I think is what the OP meant. The ambient abelian category is the category of left exact functors from the exact category to abelian groups.
Mar 5, 2020 at 13:23 comment added Martin Brandenburg Maybe we use two different definitions of an exact category. But where does that ambient abelian category come from?
Mar 5, 2020 at 13:10 comment added Jeremy Rickard @MartinBrandenburg Every essentially small exact category is an extension closed full subcategory of an abelian category, which may be assumed to be essentially small (take the smallest extension closed abelian subcategory containing the original exact category), and so Freyd-Mitchell can be applied to that abelian category.
Mar 5, 2020 at 12:59 comment added Martin Brandenburg @JeremyRickard It's usually only stated for abelian categories - why does exactness suffice here?

Mar 5, 2020 at 10:58 comment added Jeremy Rickard Doesn't it follow from the Freyd-Mitchell embedding theorem that every essentially small exact category is equivalent to a full exact subcategory of a module category?
Mar 5, 2020 at 10:40 comment added GSM @YCor $R$ is a ring with 1, that is all what we assume
Mar 5, 2020 at 10:33 comment added YCor could you say what is $R$? probably a ring, but hard to guess if you assume it to be commutative
