Which open-source software (toolbox) do you think is the best for modelling graphical models (e.g. factor graphs), and doing inference on them? (the language doesn't matter)

Another is the gRain package in R.

I found LibDai very useful: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~jmooij1/libDAI/
Also Factorie is very easy to use.

I recently had written PyGModels in Python capable of doing inference over LWF Chain Graphs:
It is quite lightweight as it depends only on standard library. However for heavy lifting, I suggest:
The development on PyGModels is very active and documentation severely lags.
However there is a stable release which had appeared in JOSS:
Eraslan, D. K. (2021) ‘PyGModels: A python package for exploring probabilistic graphical models with graph theoretical structures’, Journal of Open Source Software, 6(61). doi: 10.21105/joss.03115.
