+### Modular builds
+
+Building `stdexec` as a C++20 module (`-DSTDEXEC_BUILD_MODULES=ON`) is supported
+on a smaller set of toolchains than the traditional header-based build:
+
+| Compiler | Minimum version | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Clang | 23 | |
+
 ## Installation
 
 Pick whichever fits your project.
