+### New experimental simd/archsimd package {#simd}
+
+Go 1.26 introduces a new experimental [`simd/archsimd`](/pkg/simd/archsimd/)
+package, which can be enabled by setting the environment variable
+`GOEXPERIMENT=simd` at build time.
+This package provides access to architecture-specific SIMD operations.
+It is currently available on the AMD64 architecture, supporting
+128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit vectors.
+
+See the [proposal issue](/issue/73787) for more details.
