We can equip them with riot gear and guns: then put a chip in their brains to give commands via network interface.

Peak science, project approved.

OP is humanity's finest researcher, we'll witness the greatest leap forward in our understanding of the universe with those apes.

giving the apes fire is the fast track to them developing their own metal gears

What if we got some apes, and taught them how to light fires. They can use tools so if we pour millions of dollars of research into teaching apes to light fires we can probably do it. Then we release these lab apes into the wild so they can teach other apes to do it. Jane Goodall would be proud.

unless you can provide the need for cooked food also (climate change or environment changes in regards to their current food), having the ability to make fire but no need to do so will result in a few isolated cases of wild fires and then this knowledge won't get adopted by the large ape population.

cool idea, but lacks proper implementation post-learning

Dominant apes could use the fire to build torches. thus dominant apes will all need to light fires. this tradition could be passed down naturally until trial and error teaches apes the benifits of fire and cooked food
