We investigate a novel mechanism of dynamical tuning of a flat potential in the open string landscape within the context of warped brane-antibrane inflation in type IIB string theory. Because of competing effects between interactions with the moduli stabilizing D7-branes in the warped throat and anti-D3-branes at the tip, a stack of branes gives rise to a local minimum of the potential, holding the branes high up in the throat. As branes successively tunnel out of the local minimum to the bottom of the throat the potential barrier becomes lower and is eventually replaced by a flat inflection point, around which the remaining branes easily inflate. This dynamical flattening of the inflaton potential reduces the need to fine tune the potential by hand, and also leads to successful inflation for a larger range of inflaton initial conditions, due to trapping in the local minimum.
